Welcome! What country are you representing?

I'm from the UK, thanks for the welcome. I've actually just made myself a new account so I can properly restart the verses I was previously learning because I couldn't work out how to do that otherwise, my old account was CarterM.

Martha, you can ‘reset’ any verse by clicking on the three-dot menu when you’re looking at an individual verse. The other option ‘stop learning’ keeps your %progress for that verse, but stops it reappearing in the review queue.

Oh! Thank you, I'll bear that in mind for another time, I stopped learning all the ones on my other account so I might as well just use this one because I can't remember the ones I did before. I think me hopping around different books and learning 'random' verses was confusing me a lot. Would you happen to have a structure for learning verses that might help?

I started like you learning ‘random’ verses using verse sets that people have created here. But now I prefer to tackle a chapter at a time, because I find that gives better context and structure.

Thank you for the suggestion, I think I might well find that best too.

I appreciate what you said about context, Peter. Context is oh-so-important.

Yup I started with Random verses but find chapters much better to give context. Haven't yet completed a whole book but aiming there. But that gives good context too.

I agree. I am trying to memorize all of Romans.

nice goal! may God bless you in your ... remembering :)

Great goal! I've learnt chapter 8, then realised I needed 7 to understand 8! but I should have just started at the beginning of the book!

Yes, it's important to go through all of Romans, step by step (especially 1-8, but the rest of the chapters are important too). It takes a lot of time, but is well worth the effort.

Thank you Joosep and MrsSpooner.

What y'all said was really encouraging. I thought I was going nuts.

👍where are you up to so far?

I have 1:1-5 completed, I am still working on 1:6-17.

Wow good job! i only memorize verses for school

Thank you for your encouraging comment. Ephesians 6:17 has been an inspiration to me, "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

God is good :) We need His Word (Matthew 4:4). Not just one or two words but every word. We also need fellowship. Those two along with worship and service are like the four essential disciplines of being a Christian. We do those things because we love Him, and we love Him because He first loved us :) And as we do them, we grow in Him.

Yup.

You could not have said it better :D
