God is a physician

• Let us understand that God is a physician, and that suffering is a medicine for salvation, not a punishment for damnation. Saint Augustine
• God has administered to us of the present age, a bitter draught and a harsh physician, on account of our abounding infirmities. Desiderius Erasmus
• Your accumulated offences do not surpass the multitude of God’s mercies: your wounds do not surpass the great Physician’s skill. Cyril of Jerusalem
• There is no physician like Him, none can save as He can; we love Him, and He loves us, and therefore we put ourselves into His hands. Charles Spurgeon
• Tell a nurse that God can be imaged as a Divine Nurse just as much as a Physician of the Soul, and (after she or he stops laughing), you may have improved that nurse’s view of herself or himself over time. You may also have helped the nurse to find God. Carolyn Jane Bohler
• There is but one power which heals—that is God. The state or condition through which the healing takes place is the confidence of the heart. By some this state is reached through pills, powders, and physicians. By others through hygiene, fasting, and prayer. By others through direct perception. Abdu’l-Bahá
• Prayer works in the mind as a healing force. It calms the patient, enlightens the physician, guides the surgeon, and it often victoriously applies the power of the spirit when all seems lost. It proves, over and over again, the truth of Tennyson’s words: More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. Prayer puts us on God’s side. It aligns us with life’s higher purposes, aims, and ideals. Prayer is dedicating our thought, feeling and action to the expression of goodness. It is to become like a window through which the light of God shines. Wilferd Peterson
• When sin is a virus, we look for God to be our Great Physician. When we need to be healed of an incurable disease, our spiritual lives are a quest for medicine or miracle to heal us. What we don’t look for is truth to challenge our illusory beliefs. What we don’t look for is the truth that will set us free. Doug Hammack

• A Divine Physical Therapist, as she explained it, would know her limits and not deny them, but would also guide her to do all that was possible to make full use of her potential. Carolyn Jane Bohler

• God heals the sicknesses and the griefs by making the sicknesses and the griefs his suffering and his grief. In the image of the crucified God the sick and dying can see themselves, because in them the crucified God recognizes himself.  Jürgen Moltmann
• God Himself heals the proud. This means that inner sorrows (by which pride is healed) are sent to us by God, for the proud man will not suffer anything from others. But the humble person will endure everything, and will always say, ‘I deserve this.’  Ambrose of Optina
• I can begin to give God attributes. He’s a counselor. He’s a healer. He’s a friend that sits closer than a brother. To me, he just – I sum it up that he’s my anchor, my rock, my foundation in life, that my life was – had an emptiness – a deep, dark void with something – it had a lot of fulfillment externally, but something inside said there’s more.  Paula White
• Both sin and sickness came into the world through the fall of the human race. Therefore, we must look for the healing of both in the savior of the human race. God is as willing to heal believers as He is to forgive unbelievers. Know this; if He was merciful enough to forgive you when you were unconverted, He is merciful enough to heal you now that you are in His family!  T.L. Osborn
