When you’re sick, weary, or broken, where do you turn first? Many of us reach for medicine, advice, or self-help strategies those can all be good places to start. But, the Bible reveals a deeper truth: God Himself is our ultimate healer. His very name declares it. In Exodus 15:26 He says, “I am the Lord who heals you.” The Hebrew name here is Jehovah Rapha meaning, “The Lord who heals.” Healing is not just something God does from time to time.
