What verse to pray for healing?

Should I still see a doctor if I'm praying for healing?

Yes. Luke, the author of Acts, was himself a physician (Colossians 4:14). God works through medicine, doctors, and treatment as well as through direct supernatural intervention. Seeking medical help is not a lack of faith — it is using the wisdom and resources God has provided.

Does God still heal people miraculously today?

James 5:14-15 instructs believers to pray for healing without placing a time limit on God's power.

Jeremiah 17:14 is one of the most direct: 'Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.' Psalm 30:2, Psalm 41:3, and 3 John 1:2 are also frequently prayed for healing of body and soul.

Why doesn't God heal everyone who prays?

Scripture does not promise immediate physical healing for every prayer. God heals in His sovereignty and for His purposes — sometimes immediately, sometimes through medical care, sometimes through the ultimate healing of resurrection. Paul's unhealed 'thorn' (2 Corinthians 12:7–10) shows that unhealed suffering can become a platform for God's grace to be more visible.

What does 'by his stripes we are healed' mean?

Isaiah 53:5, quoted in 1 Peter 2:24, teaches that Christ's wounds on the cross secured healing — primarily from sin and its eternal consequences, and ultimately, in the resurrection, from every physical and emotional brokenness. Many believers also pray it as a basis for asking God for present physical healing, trusting His timing.
