51 Scripture Verses on Health and Healing

Happy Thursday sweet friends! I am often told by very dear and well-meaning people, "I am praying for you" or "I am praying for your health" or "I am praying for your healing". 

ALL of these things are wonderful and I am so grateful and thankful for the time that people pray for me and my health. But I am also asked by those who are closest to me, "I pray for your health everyday, but sometimes I don't know what to pray anymore at this stage of the journey." I have been thinking a lot about how to respond to this recently and wanted to share with y'all 51 healing scriptures that I pray over myself every single morning and throughout the day. 

While this doesn't address everything to pray for and is definitely not a "formula" I do hope and pray that this is a good starting point for you if you are looking for verses on the topic of health and healing in the Bible. These verses bring me such comfort, joy, peace, and strength every single day during this season! I hope it encourages you today!
