11 Awesome Verses of Healing from the OT!

We get that Jesus healed, but many of us doubt His will to heal today. They are uncertain, sometimes too uncertain to even ask. Without any question, God ALWAYS desires your healing.

Having said that,  these verses aren't mantras, but when you take God's Words and verbally pray with your mouth and meditate in your heart, the result is always powerful (see Ps 1, Josh 1 and Jer 17:7,8). I invite you to take a moment to read these ancient Scriptures and ask God to empower them in your life and reveal His will to you. God bless you!

Psalm 101:1-5

Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—  who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,  who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
