Healing Passages

As this year I set myself the goal of reading the entire Bible in one year, I have been writing down certain passages as I read them. The kind that really speaks something to me, the interesting and the healing.

Here are some healing passages I found useful. Give them a try yourself!

Verses taken from the "New Jerusalem Bible".

Did you not know? Had you not heard? Yahweh is the everlasting God, He created the remotest parts of the earth. He does not grow tired or weary, His understanding is beyond fathoming.

He gives strength to the weary, He strengthens the powerless. Youths grow tired and weary, the young stumble and fall, but those who hope in Yahweh will regain their strength, they will sprout wings like eagles, though they run they will not grow weary, though they walk they will never tire.

✠ Isaiah 40:28-31

Bless Yahweh, my soul, from the depths of my being, His holy name.

✠ Psalms 103:1

Bless Yahweh, my soul, never forget all His acts of Kindness. He forgives all your offences, cures all your diseases.

✠ Psalms 103:2-3

You who live in the secret place of Elyon, spend your nights in the shelter of Shaddai, saying to Yahwek, 'My refuge, my fortress, my God in whom I trust!'

✠ Psalms 91:1-2

In God alone there is rest for my soul, from Him comes my safety;

He alone is my rock, my safety, my stronghold so I stand unshaken,

Set both on the scales together, and they are lighter than a puff of wind.

✠ Romans 5:3-4

When we were still helpless, at the appointed time, Christ died for the godless.

✠ Romans 5:6

So it is proof of God's own love for us, that Christ died for us while we were still sinners. How much more can we be sure, therefore, that, now that we have been justified by His death, we shall be saved through Him from the retribution of God.

✠ Romans 5:8-9

For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, how much more can we be sure that, being now reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
