People often start with Jeremiah 17:14 (KJV) and Psalm 147:3 (KJV). Isaiah 53:5 (KJV) points to Jesus' wounds. Read each verse in context.
The Bible shows God as healer (Exodus 15:26 KJV), Jesus healing the sick (Matthew 4:23 KJV), and the church praying for the sick (James 5:14–15 KJV). It does not tell you to skip medical care.
Psalm 147:3 (KJV) is short: “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” Psalm 30:2 (KJV) says, “O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.”
James 5:14–16 (KJV) tells the church to pray for the sick and to pray for one another. You can also pray Psalm 6:2 (KJV). Keep praying, and keep medical care in the plan.
