Illness / emcouragement

 Here are some deeply comforting and encouraging Bible verses for those facing illness—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. These passages offer hope, peace, and assurance of God’s presence and care:

🌿 Promises of Healing and Restoration

• Jeremiah 30:17 — “But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,” declares the Lord.

• Psalm 103:2–3 — Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.

🕊️ Peace in the Midst of Suffering

• Isaiah 41:10 — So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

• John 14:27 — Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.

Father God, we lift up Bruce and Ty to You.  You see every detail of what is happening with Bruce and You know the precise injury in Ty’s foot.  You are our Creator and You see everything in our makeup because You made us.  You are the Great Physician and oversee each influence in us and in us.  We do not understand why we must endure the hard things in our lives, but we trust You.  

Please bring healing to Ty as You work through his medical team.  Give Ty the patience and endurance he needs, empowering him to trust You above all else.  We are so thankful for his example of faith, hope and love to us as grandparents!  We couldn’t be more proud of who he is. 

We pray the same healing for Bruce, Lord.  May Your grace be infused into his life just as much as Your healing hands.  Help Bruce to trust You for every need, moving him to love You more than he ever has in his life.  Guide his medical team to find the right solution with the best outcome.  

Lord, we pray for Amy as well. Give her strength, endurance and patience as she tries to encourage two patients under the same roof!  May she experience Your presence like never before.  

💪 Strength and Endurance

• 2 Corinthians 12:9 — “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

• Isaiah 40:29–31 — He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak… those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

❤️ God’s Nearness and Compassion

• Psalm 34:18 — The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

• Matthew 11:28–30 — Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

🌅 Hope Beyond the Present

• Romans 8:18 — I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

• Revelation 21:4 — He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.
