What is a trick to memorizing Hebrews 12:1-2 it is sort but I cant seem to get the hang of it... I have tried everything

What I usually do is say the first phrase three times, then add the second phrase, say it three times, and add the two phrases or sentences, saying them three times together and so on until I come to the end of the verse. It is much easier for me to memorize them if I say them aloud. Of course, this does not work for everyone, but it is the easiest way I have found to memorize verses.

Have you tried singing it?

Try with a tune you are familiar with at first or make up your own tune

Thank you for sharing that, Wv. I also do something similar. Saying it out loud (or singing it out loud, as janet23 shared) is the key. Repeating also is important, because we easily forget (Psalm 103:14). There's something very special and powerful to declaring God's Word. Declaring it and believing it. I don't mean demanding -- because we must remain humble. I mean declaring His truth for all creation to hear :) We must remember that it is His Word, not ours. But as we repeat it and declare it, it becomes internalized.

Love what you said about declaring it joosep. Completely true, I'm definitely going to declare it more.

Fellowship is a good thing :) It encourages me a lot, and these days we all need encouragement.

YMMV but if you're learning from the ESV you might be able to find a particular verse on "The Verses Project". It's a collection of verses that are put to music verbatim from the ESV. May not be to everyone's taste and the quality varies but check it out. http://theversesproject.com/search?q=Hebrews
