Scriptures for Healing!

I had a conversation with my dad last night over the phone about the TTC journey Mr. C and I have been on.  He knows it's been rough, but he also pointed out to me that as a Christian it's up to ME to be proactive in my faith.  God wants to heal us.  He desperately does; but we can "bind his hands" with disbelief, incorrect thinking (ie: "God is punishing me" or "God is trying to teach me something"), and confessing more pain and suffering over ourselves with our mouths.

He (my dad) had a good point.  He said that the Bible is over-flowing with promises that God made to mankind.  It's up to us to find them and repeat them in faith, reminding God that he has promised to give us "the desires of our hearts".

So, I dug around in my Bible, and found these amazing scriptures about God's desire and ability to heal us.  I hope they uplift you as much as they did me!  Enjoy!

Aren't those GREAT promises?!  I am so over-whelmed today.  I have been allowing past failures to cloud my knowledge of God and his promises.  I'm going to try so hard to stand on these words in faith from here on out!

I hope you're having a wonderful day in your part of the world!
