Sadness & Loss
🤒 When Someone Is Sick
Worry and love sit together. You can pray for healing and also rest, because their sickness is not your job to fix.
Health
“For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,” says Yahweh; “because they have called you an outcast, saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’””
Jeremiah 30:17 · World English Bible
Sustain
“Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.”
Psalms 41:3 · World English Bible
Rest
““Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28 · World English Bible
