What does the Bible say about Praying about Health?

The Bible underscores the importance of prayer in various aspects of life, including health.

James 5:14-16 advises those who are sick to seek prayer and anointing from the elders of the church, emphasizing that the “prayer of faith” can restore the ill and sins may be forgiven.

Furthermore, the Bible illustrates God’s healing nature, as seen in Psalm 103:2-3, which speaks of the Lord healing all diseases. Philippians 4:6-7 encourages believers to present all concerns, including health, to God, assuring them of His peace in return.

While the Bible highlights numerous instances of healing, it does not promise every health-related prayer will result in healing. Instead, believers are reminded of God’s overarching sovereignty and benevolence.
