Step
Step 1. Find a quiet place, for example in your bedroom or other place where there is no distractions
Sit as comfortably as possible. Use a few pillows to lean on if needed. Make sure you are in a place where there are no distractions. Turn off the TV, music and cell phones so you can concentrate,.
Step 2. Ask God to help you understand the meaning of the Bible verse and apply it to your daily life
Prayer is very powerful, but you never know how great God's work is in your life until you communicate with Him every day to share the problems you are going through.
Step 3. Memorize the references
Say the verse and its references aloud (for example, John chapter 3 verse 16) at the beginning and at the end of the verse to make it easier for you to memorize the references.
Step 4. Read the verse aloud
Read the verse at a variable tempo while focusing on pronouncing each word with clear articulation.
Step 5. Focus on keywords
If you want to memorize John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life", the key word is " love", "God", "world", "Son", "everyone", "believe", "perish", "life", and "eternal". Now, combine the words into a complete verse.
Step 6. Memorize the verse while playing the game
Use an erasable marker to write verses on the board. Make sure you can read it. Read the verse several times and then delete 2 words at once. Say the verse over and over again until all the words are erased. If you can pronounce the verse correctly without reading the writing on the blackboard, you did it!
Step 7. Do the above steps every day
While shopping at the supermarket, try to remember the verses you have memorized. Say it out loud as you take a leisurely stroll in the park. When you feel settled, say the verse at a gathering with family members and friends!
Step 8. Write the verse on a note card with colorful markers
Stick the card in a visible place (in the bedroom, above the desk lamp switch, on the mirror in the bathroom, etc.)
Step 9. Memorize Bible verses that make you think positively, for example John 14:26, 1John 2:20, 1Corinthians 1:5, Proverbs 10:7, 1Corinthians 2:16, Hebrews 8:10, Psalm 19
