When our hearts are hurting, our bodies are tired, or we feel emotionally worn thin, the Word of God becomes a balm for the soul. I’ve had seasons where I didn’t have the words to pray, but I could hold onto His promises. Healing and restoration may not always come in the way we expect, but God is faithful. These verses have brought me comfort in difficult times and reminded me that God is the ultimate healer, restorer, and redeemer.

Here are 10 beautiful verses that speak healing over our lives, many of which we have featured as framed artwork at Prayers and Prints. Surrounding your home with these reminders brings peace not only to your heart, but to your family too.

1. Jeremiah 30:17 "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord."

I keep this one close during times when healing feels far away. It's a promise—not a maybe, but a declaration from God that He will restore. I’ve clung to it in quiet moments, and it never fails to bring a calm strength to my spirit.

This verse was a lifeline for me during a recovery season. It reminded me to hold on, even when I couldn't see the end of the road.

2. Psalm 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

This verse speaks to every tender part of me. God sees the hidden pain, the ache that doesn’t show on the outside, and He gently tends to it. (You’ll also find this verse in one of our prints—it’s especially meaningful as a gift for someone in a season of grief.)

After a close friend passed, I read this every day. It gave me the words I couldn’t say and reminded me that God was tending to the ache.

3. Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

In times of illness or emotional struggle, this verse reminds me that I’m not fighting alone. God promises not only to heal, but to uphold and strengthen. He is present through every stage of the journey.

When someone in my family faced surgery, I wrote this on a sticky note and placed it by the kitchen sink. Reading it brought steady peace through long days.

4. Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

Healing often starts with rest—deep, spiritual rest. Jesus invites us to come to Him, just as we are. No need to have it all together. If you feel weighed down, this verse is an open door.

There were mornings when I felt too exhausted to pray, but this verse reminded me that simply coming to Him was enough.

5. 1 Peter 5:10 "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."

This one gets me every time. God is not distant from our pain—He sees it, walks with us through it, and then rebuilds us with His own hands. (This verse is also available in our collection as a framed reminder of His grace.)

It was during one of my loneliest seasons that this verse reminded me restoration was coming. I just had to hold on.

6. James 5:15 "And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up."

Prayer has such power. This verse encourages me to keep praying, especially for those who are sick—physically, emotionally, spiritually. God hears, and He moves.

I remember placing my hands on my child's feverish forehead and quietly whispering this verse. It gave me strength in the waiting.

7. Psalm 23:3 "He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake."

Even before physical healing, sometimes our souls just need refreshing. I think of this verse often when I go for a walk or sit quietly with a cup of tea. (It’s also one of our most peaceful, calming prints.)

This is my go-to when my heart feels restless. It helps me breathe again.

8. Exodus 15:26 "I am the Lord, who heals you."

What a beautiful truth. God names Himself our healer. It is not just what He does—it’s who He is. When I read this, I remember that I don’t need to search for peace or healing elsewhere.

I speak this verse out loud when I need to remember where my true healing comes from—not doctors, not solutions, but the Lord Himself.

9. Romans 8:11 "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you."

This verse reminds me that resurrection power is already at work in us. Even when we feel weak, God’s Spirit breathes life, renewal, and strength. There is always hope.

Whenever I’ve felt depleted and dry, this verse spoke life back into my bones.

10. Isaiah 58:11 "The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail."

I’ve returned to this verse so many times in hard seasons. It paints a picture of restoration that is ongoing and overflowing—like a spring that never dries up. It’s one of my favorite verses to gift in print form, especially to dear friends who need encouragement.

I once gave this verse to a friend after she had a long, hard year. It was like speaking new life into her spirit—and into mine too.

These verses are more than encouragement; they are invitations into deeper trust. God never promises a life without pain, but He promises His presence, His power, and His peace in the middle of it. Healing comes in layers—sometimes physical, often emotional, and always spiritual.

If you’re walking through a hard season right now, let these scriptures be like cool water to your soul. Print one out. Tape it to your mirror. Send one to a friend. Or let one of our framed prints serve as a daily reminder in your home.

You are not alone. He is restoring you, one promise at a time.
