Bible Verses for Someone Who Is Ill

When someone you love is unwell, words can feel small. Often the kindest thing is not advice but a verse, sent quietly, to say that you are praying and that you are near. The passages here are gentle and steady. They do not pretend the illness is nothing, and they do not promise an easy answer. They point instead to a God who draws close to the suffering, who carries what we cannot, and who is good even on the days that are hard to understand. Send one in a message, write one on a card, or pray one at a bedside.
