Scripture Memory

Generally speaking, scripture memory is super difficult for me. This has been (and will probably always be) a ongoing challenge, whereas my husband can recite lines from obscure 80s movies and old Seinfeld episodes, I choke when it comes to reciting anything.

Our ladies’ Bible study group is studying Elyse Fitzpatrick‘s Idols of the Heart (a very good book, by the way!). One of the scriptures mentioned in this week’s study is Psalm 42:1-2. I’m trying to devote that to memory:

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
—Psalm 42:1-2

Oh, that this Scripture would become the prayer of my heart.
