First things first

Lord, You know I'm having a difficult time memorizing my Scripture verse this time. It's already June 26th and I can't seem to remember it. I don't feel it's possible to apply it to my life until I get this one...

"The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks." (Luke 6:45)

Help me feel your unconditional love so I can show it to all who come in my path, especially those closest to me. Only then can I possibly remember the verse I chose.

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." (Eph 4:29)

In Jesus' name,
Amen

sometimes I feel the same way. And I might have forgotten the last one I memorized. I was looking at my list yesterday and it was like, "what's that one doing there?" I guess I need to put a little more focus and a little higher priority on my scriptures.

love you,
karen

I have some of my Scriptures down very well...others - 1 from April in particular I still stumble over.

Lord God, Please help all of us who are sowing Your Word into our hearts. We want to know these verses, live these verses, and believe these verses. Please increase our brain power as we continue learning them. In Jesus' Name I pray.
