It’s great to see you back. I’ve been worried about you when you were missing for so long. Praying things are going better for you. I know this isn’t a good place to write this comment but couldn’t find a better place where you would see it.
I'm also really glad to see you back, Mr. Memorizer :) Please stick around and keep sharing your comments, we enjoy reading them and appreciate seeing them. Have a good day, Joosep.
I am doing a little better! I am still having a hard time, but I am no longer thinking of suicide. Thank you so much for your support! Once I have the spiritual strength again I will continue my memorization plan!
Thank you, please keep praying. I realize that the reason I'm feeling this way is because I no longer have self-worth like I once had, no vision for the future and no care about my life. I must get back in that mindset somehow, otherwise I'll have to drop out of school, and my family will suffer from that, and by then I will take my own life. It feels so hopeless....I wish I never had to feel like this! I feel like I'm drowning in this life! :_(
Thank you so much everybody. I will definitely learn those verses on my separate LearnScripture account that I use for school and other verses that are not part of my plan. Even though I feel very suicidal throughout most of the day, I will still try to put my trust completely in God and Jesus Christ, that he will make everything OK again. Yes, if I am made to believe that my depression will eventually (or very soon) go away and not come back, it will definitely help me. I'm just so worried when I see other people online who have been depressed for many, many years, and that is a big part of what's making me feel suicidal. Please keep praying for me, that this will all be over as soon as possible, and that I can go back to normal before I quit my entire life altogether :|
Hi everyone. It is about time I tell you what has been happening to me. I'm sorry to say that the answer is depression. DEEP DEEP depression. It's the worst thing I have ever been through and I just don't feel appreciation or joy in anything. I think and really hope that it's just a phase I'm going through since I just turned 14 years old, or it's probably the devil majorly attacking me for trying to step out in my faith. My life is now a hopeless prison to me and suicide is often on my mentally ill mind.
As for God, I still love him as much as I can love, and if I don't die from this depression, I am still definitely doing the New Testament Memorization Plan, but I am not motivated enough and not spiritually able to do it now. In my mind there is hope for me, but my coldhearted feelings tell me that there is not.
On the plus side, I love how this group is growing with Christians who are still on fire for the Lord, and I praise you for your character. I am asking intently for your prayers, because very little people understand what I am going through right now. Please pray for me :( Today I am going on a Soul-winning Mega Marathon with my family and friends, and I hope that maybe the Holy Spirit will once more decide to indwell in me and I can see life the way I should really see it. And tomorrow is Easter Sunday. Please pray for me, and maybe this what-should-be-exciting weekend will give me the light once again to have spiritual zeal for the Lord Jesus Christ. God bless :)
Alright everybody, thank you so much for your prayers! Yesterday, I apparently just strolled right through the book of Titus without stopping, just finished starting half of Philemon, and then a few minutes ago looked at my memorization calendar and thought, what on earth?! How did I catch up so fast? It seems I have learned to be on this website for hours (although not in a row) and am reviewing Titus and getting more familiar with it...it's so amazing how much God has blessed me! There's certainly only one bad thing I can think of about LearnScripture- it's very highly addictive! I'm beginning to wonder how I'm going to be able to memorize verses on the plane when I go to Hawaii in May! Feeling better, too! :D
Hello members of New Testament Group, teflover and joosep, and anyone else. I must admit I have recently been going through a tough time and trying to resist the devil, with all the work I have to do for school (I'm in eighth grade) and it's overwhelming, not to mention discouraging! :( I have gotten behind on my memorization because of that, and I am only on 2nd Timothy 4, when I should be almost done with Titus....therefore I am back to catch up. Every hour I get tested on a verse I will learn at least one more, depending on how long the verses are, and eventually I will be caught up again :) Lately instead I have been slowly memorizing more encouraging Psalms, and will now get back into my New Testament Plan. Even though the trials and tribulations are not quite over, I will strive to resist them, and soon I will hopefully be able to enjoy memorization again, without worrying about it taking up so much of my precious time! This website has been such a blessing to me and I thank the Lord for it. May God bless all of you in your memorization! :)
Thank you! I know, it is amazing! Whenever I'm in church I can recognize a lot more of the verses my pastor quotes. This is truly a blessing! And I didn't even know I reached 4M until I was notified by your comments haha. I hope you're doing great as well!

Marvelous! Job is one of my favorite and most exciting books of the Bible! Whenever I read it, I can't stop until I've almost finished it. At the moment I am through Colossians, Philippians and just got done with first Timothy. I'm starting 2nd Timothy to-morrow
That is such a great idea! I am actually following a plan from thebible.net to memorize the New Testament in 5 years, and I'm doing my core memorization on here. Once I eventually reach my goal I'll do the Old Testament as well. I'm already memorizing a bunch of familiar Psalms as well, and plan to eventually memorize the whole book. My favorite so far is Psalm 19 because a lot of it rhymes, and it sounds like spiritual poetry!
Yes! Along with my new testament memorization, I am learning several familiar psalms, which is helping me learn new things and actively growing my love for the book of Psalms.
