There are so many different ways to hide God’s Word in your heart. First of all you must commit your heart to the task and believe that you can do it! Look at these suggestions below and choose tips that work best for you.
Especially for Visual Learners - If you learn visually you will want to memorize from one copy, preferably your Bible. This will help you see the passage in your mind for review.
Write it Down - Write the passage on a card or cards and place in key places, your pocket, bathroom, car dash, kitchen window. Take every opportunity to review!
Divide it Up by 4 and then Review - For longer projects, each week, on day one, take 1/4 of that week’s passage and learn it. The next day review what you learned on day 1and then learn the next fourth. Do this for four days until you know the verse(s) for that week. Then for the remaining three days review the whole verse with the whole passage.
Pray About it Daily - Take the verse you are memorizing and ask the Holy Spirit to show you fresh insight in it as you memorize.
Exact Wording Is Best - Don’t’ settle for less than the exact wording as you memorize! Require that of yourself! It will help you be diligent to really work at it and not just settle for the general ideas. Ask God to give you a heart for excellence.
Take it With You - You probably have more time available to you than you realize. Take the passage with you, whether written on a card or actually taking your Bible with you. When you stand in a line, when you wait at a stoplight, when you sit in a waiting room or get put on hold, review your verses.
Practice out Loud - It just helps to say it out loud. Say it to a family member or friend daily. They can help you get it exactly right and it will become a part of their heart too.
Review, Review, Review - As you finish one part of the passage continue to review it weekly, building on it with the new weeks passage. Ideally, each day you should practice the new section and then go back and say it out loud as far as you know, including the new section. Just think, if you do that, by the end of the 12 weeks you will have said verse 1 nearly 84 times. It will be hidden in your heart for sure!
