Psalm 119:50 I have been comforted in my affliction, because your Word has given me life!

Bible Verses of Comfort – God Heals – Jehovah Rapha

Jehovah Rapha – The Lord your Healer.

Jehovah is “The Existing One” or “Lord.” Jehovah denotes a God who reveals Himself unceasingly. Rapha means “to restore”, “to heal” or “to make healthful” in Hebrew. When the two words are combined — Jehovah Rapha — it can be translated as “Jehovah Who Heals.” Jehovah is the Great Physician who heals the physical and emotional needs of His people. I have listed below scriptures of healing and restoration that you can use to comfort your heart and spirit in difficult times. God loves you and wants to heal all the heartache in your life. He is the God who will heal our bumps and bruises, broken hearts and shattered lives. He is the Lord our Healer. Literally translated Jehovah-Rapha means I am your Lord who makes the bitter things sweet.

The name Jehovah-Rapha is a name that speaks to us and our need today. We live in a stressful world and society. Every day new problems confront us as we bend under the load of seemingly unsolvable problems. Trust in Him and he will deliver you, this is His promise, over and over again.

Hurt — Jeremiah 30:17 . . . I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the LORD. He wants us healthy and happy.

Stress — Isaiah 40:18-29 . . . Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

Anxious —1 Peter 5:6-7 . . . Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. So be content with who you are, and don’t put on airs. God’s strong hand is on you; he’ll promote you at the right time. Live carefree before God; he is most careful with you.

Pain —Job 6:10 . . . This would be my comfort; I would even exult in pain unsparing, for I have not denied the words of the Holy One, my God.

Weary —Isaiah 40:31 . . . But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Those who put their trust in the Lord will run and not get tired; they will walk and not fall behind.

Loss — Matthew 5:4 . . . Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.

He will never wander off to do his own thing; He has been right there listening, waiting for you to call on Him.

Sorrow —John 16:22 . . . So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

Why —Romans 8:18 . . . For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. God is telling us that there is no comparison between the present hard times and the coming good times when we are forever with the Lord.

Failure — Psalms 71:20-21 . . . You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again. You will increase my greatness and comfort me again. God, you’ve done it all! There is none like you. You, who made me stare trouble in the face, You turned me around; Now let me look life in the face. I’ve been to the bottom; You will bring me up, streaming with honors; Turn to me, be tender to me. I will thank you and bless you for your faithfulness, God.

Distress — Psalm 73:26 . . . My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. When my skin sags and my bones get brittle, God is rock-firm and faithful. I’m in the very presence of God—oh, how refreshing it is.

Woe —Revelation 21:4 . . . He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He’ll wipe every tear from our eyes. Death is gone for good—tears gone, crying gone, pain gone…gone, gone, gone.

Sadness —Lamentation 3:19 -21 . . . I’ll never forget the trouble, the utter feeling of being lost, the taste of ashes, the poison I’ve swallowed.

Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the power and beauty of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or difficult on you. Walk with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
