In times of suffering, the Bible offers comfort and healing, reminding us that God binds up the brokenhearted and heals their wounds. According to Psalms 147:3, God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds, while Jeremiah 30:17 promises restoration and healing for those who have been wounded. The New Testament reveals that Jesus bore our wounds on the cross, as stated in 1 Peter 2:24, and Isaiah 53:5 foretells of His suffering on our behalf. Luke 10:34 also shows Jesus' compassion for the wounded, as He instructs the Good Samaritan to care for the injured traveler.

saying, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His eyes, and pay attention to His commands, and keep all His statutes, then I will not bring on you any of the diseases I inflicted on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”
Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for You are my praise.
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all. He protects all his bones; not one of them will be broken.
The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.
