Healing

I have been reflecting and reading scripture verses on healing because I have been praying for healing for some of my loved ones that have been sick this week. God's word is sharper than a two edged sword and will not return void, so praying scripture makes a lot of sense to me. I particularly like a verse in Acts 4:30 that I came across: "By stretching forth thy hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus." Lk 6:18 says "People came to hear him and be healed of their diseases." Lk5:17 "One day Jesus was teaching, and the power of the Lord made him heal." 1stPeter 2:24 "By His stripes you were healed" James 5:16 "Declare your sins to one another, pray for one another, that you may find healing." Jer 30:17 "For I will restore you to health." These are just a few of the many scriptures on healing in the bible, so it is good to exercise your faith and pray for healing whether it is physical, emotional, mental, inner healing, etc. God will hear you and answer your prayers. I am not advocating that you only pray, if you need to go to a physician then that is a course of action you should take. I believe God gave us doctors and I use them when I am sick and need a doctor, but I also add prayer! I had an eye inflamation earlier this week and I went to my eye doctor and medicine took care of the problem, so I highly recommend both!
