The Lord forgives; the Lord heals
Psalm 103:2-5
Praise the LORD, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies; who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
God heals my exhaustion
Psalm 6:2
Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint. LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
God keeps me alive
Psalm 41:2-3
The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies. The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.
Any health I enjoy is evidence of God's mercy
Psalm 41:4
I said, “LORD, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
God restores my mental health
Psalm 34:17-19
The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
