Does God want you healed?
Yes, God wants you healed. Sickness is a heavy burden to bear, but it’s even worse when you’re left wondering if it’s God’s will for you to be well.
It’s natural to ask yourself, “Why me? Does God even care that I’m suffering? And is He going to heal me?“
The answer is a resounding YES! God cares deeply about you and wants you to be healed, healthy, and whole.
Don’t just take my word for it, though. The Bible is full of promises about God’s desire to heal His people.
In Exodus 15:26, God declares, “I am the Lord who heals you.”
In 1 Peter 2:24, we’re told that through Jesus’ wounds, “you have been healed.”
And in Psalm 107:20, we learn that God sent His Word to heal us.
The ultimate picture of God’s desire to heal us is Jesus Himself.
When we look at Jesus’ life and ministry, we see that He was always on the move, healing people wherever He went.
Jesus is a clear demonstration of God’s nature as a healer and He wants to see you whole and free from the pain of PTSD.
So if you’re struggling with PTSD, know that God is on your side. He wants to heal and restore you to fullness of life.
Don’t give up hope – there is healing available for you. Let’s trust in God’s love and mercy as we journey towards wholeness together.

Applying healing scriptures
Here are some practical and biblical ways to apply healing scriptures for healing from PTSD:
- Seek professional help: PTSD is a serious mental health condition that requires professional treatment. Seek help from a qualified therapist or counselor who can help you understand your condition and develop a treatment plan.
- Pray for healing: Pray to God for healing and ask for His guidance as you seek treatment. Trust in His love and mercy, and believe that He has the power to heal you.
- Meditate on healing scriptures: Meditate on healing scriptures like Isaiah 53:5, which says, “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” Read these scriptures daily and reflect on their meaning and power.
- Confess healing scriptures: Speak healing scriptures out loud and declare them over your life. Proclaim that you are healed in Jesus’ name and that the power of God is working in you to bring about healing and restoration.
- Surround yourself with positive influences: Surround yourself with people who love and support you, and who will speak life and encouragement into your situation. Avoid negative influences and seek out positive, uplifting experiences.
- Practice self-care: Take care of your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Eat healthy foods, exercise regularly, get plenty of rest, and spend time in nature. Practice meditation, prayer, and other spiritual disciplines that help you connect with God.
- Believe in your healing: Believe that God is working in your life to bring about healing and wholeness. Trust in His love and goodness, and have faith that He will restore you to health and wellness.
Remember, healing is a journey, and it takes time, effort, and most importantly your faith in God.
But with God’s help and the support of others, you can overcome PTSD and experience the fullness of life that God has for you.
Share scriptures with others
The Healing Scriptures for PTSD are a powerful tool for those who are suffering from the effects of trauma.
The promises of God’s word provide hope, comfort, and strength to those who are struggling with PTSD.
But this good news is not meant to be kept to ourselves. We must share it with others who are also hurting and in need of healing.
Moreover, while the Healing Scriptures offer significant support for our mental health, there is no greater healing than that which comes from accepting Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior.
Jesus offers forgiveness, peace, and eternal life to all who put their faith in Him.
If you have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, I encourage you to do so today.
You will experience a transformational change that will impact every aspect of your life.
So, let us share the good news of the Healing Scriptures with others, and let us also encourage them to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
Together, we can help bring hope and healing to those who are suffering.
