What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty over sickness?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that God is sovereign over all things, including sickness, which serves His divine purpose.

In John 11, we see a clear example of God's sovereignty in the story of Lazarus. The Lord informs us that Lazarus's sickness is not unto death but for the glory of God, emphasizing that every circumstance, including sickness, is under His control. The sermon explains that all things, even painful trials, are ordered by God for His glory and the benefit of His people. This understanding provides comfort, as it assures believers that nothing happens by chance and that God's sovereign plan encompasses every aspect of life, including our sufferings.
