Psalms 119:11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
While finishing breakfast with some friends the other morning, we began to share our prayer request and one of the women present made a very common statement. She has trouble memorizing scripture. She reads the word faithfully, but yet memorizing them has become difficult.
I have found that we as believers often times rely on our own strength, instead of asking the Holy Spirit that is within us to help.
When reading the bible, if I come across a verse that jumps out at me, I stop and repeat it several times, each time imagining and seeing the verse. I then thanks the Lord that His word is in my spirit and in my heart.
The next time I pray for someone, if that particular bible verse is needed, it will come out of the reserve so to speak. It will come out through the power of the Holy Spirit, not on my own ability.
If you have trouble memorizing scripture, try that simple exercise. Read the verse several times. See and imagine the verse, and then thank the Lord that His word is in your spirit.
I am confident when the times comes for you to pray, while letting the Holy Spirit take over, those verses will be used for His Bride.
Thank you Lord for your word is hidden in my heart, and will be used for the edification of your Bride.
