A doença é realidade humana que a Bíblia confronta com compaixão e poder. Jesus curou toda enfermidade e prometeu ouvir a oração da fé pelos enfermos.

When evening came, people brought to Jesus many who had demons in them. Jesus drove out the evil spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. He did this to make come true what the prophet Isaiah had said, "He himself took our sickness and carried away our diseases."

When did we ever see you a stranger and welcome you in our homes, or naked and clothe you? When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?’ The King will reply, ‘I tell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these followers of mine, you did it for me!’
Jesus heard them and answered, "People who are well do not need a doctor, but only those who are sick. I have not come to call respectable people, but outcasts."
heal the sick in that town, and say to the people there, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near you.’
Jesus called the twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases. Then he sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick,

Lord, heal me and I will be completely well; rescue me and I will be perfectly safe. You are the one I praise!
He forgives all my sins
and heals all my diseases.
He heals the broken-hearted
and bandages their wounds.
and gives sight to the blind.
He lifts those who have fallen;
he loves his righteous people.
Happy are those who are concerned for the poor;
the Lord will help them when they are in trouble.
The Lord will protect them and preserve their lives;
he will make them happy in the land;
he will not abandon them to the power of their enemies.
The Lord will help them when they are sick
and will restore them to health.
My dear friend, I pray that everything may go well with you and that you may be in good health—as I know you are well in spirit.
Oração pelos doentes
A oração da fé salvará o enfermo. Confessai as ofensas uns aos outros e orai uns pelos outros para serdes curados.
Are any among you sick? They should send for the church elders, who will pray for them and rub olive oil on them in the name of the Lord. This prayer made in faith will heal the sick; the Lord will restore them to health, and the sins they have committed will be forgiven.

So then, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you will be healed. The prayer of a good person has a powerful effect.
But to keep me from being puffed up with pride because of the many wonderful things I saw, I was given a painful physical ailment, which acts as Satan’s messenger to beat me and keep me from being proud. Three times I prayed to the Lord about this and asked him to take it away. But his answer was: "My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak." I am most happy, then, to be proud of my weaknesses, in order to feel the protection of Christ’s power over me. I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Esperança na aflição
Ele tomou sobre si as nossas enfermidades. Mesmo na doença, o coração alegre serve de bom remédio e Deus dá esperança.
"But he endured the suffering that should have been ours,
the pain that we should have borne.
All the while we thought that his suffering
was punishment sent by God.
"But he endured the suffering that should have been ours,

All the while we thought that his suffering

We despised him and rejected him;
he endured suffering and pain.
No one would even look at him—
we ignored him as if he were nothing.
Being cheerful keeps you healthy. It is slow death to be gloomy all the time.
Your will to live can sustain you when you are sick, but if you lose it, your last hope is gone.
When hope is crushed, the heart is crushed, but a wish come true fills you with joy.
When I did not confess my sins,
I was worn out from crying all day long.
You remember why I preached the gospel to you the first time; it was because I was sick. But even though my physical condition was a great trial to you, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you received me as you would an angel from heaven; you received me as you would Christ Jesus.
Do not drink water only, but take a little wine to help your digestion, since you are sick so often.
He will wipe away all tears from their eyes. There will be no more death, no more grief or crying or pain. The old things have disappeared."
