Be Focused

• Try to get all unnecessary distractions out of the way. Devote this time to God. It's always easier to get the job done if you're 100 percent focused on your goal. Focus can shift and fade, which is why sometimes, you have to couple it with enthusiasm. If you're excited to get the job done, and if you love what you're doing, then the actual process of Bible memorization won't be as hard as you think.
  
  

Little by Little

• Do not try to memorize a whole Bible verse all at once. Give your brain time to reflect on what you're learning by taking it in little by little. If the verse has five parts, you can start by memorizing one section of a verse at a time. Say the part you are learning over and over again until you know it by heart and then move on to the next section of the verse until you've got the whole verse memorized. Say the reference before saying the portion of the verse you are learning, and then say the reference again.
  
  

Meditate on It

• Memorizing a verse isn't simply being able to recite it without looking at your Bible. You have to understand the importance of what you're trying to memorize, so meditate on it. Ponder on each significant word, especially the ones that strike you. Try to imagine how you can apply the verse in your own life because memorization is futile without application.
  
  

Get a Partner

• Find a partner who shares the same desire to memorize Scripture. You can take turns memorizing each verse and then test each other afterward. You can even ask some questions about the verse to see if it was fully comprehended. This will not only help you get into the "memorization zone," but it will also make memorizing fun.
