JDJDJD, good morning, and thank you for sharing that. It's very moving. It's quite a testimony about her, that "she never complained during her illness". May I Lord Jesus, be less of a complainer and more thankful towards You. I look forward very much to meeting her in person someday just as I also do other believers whom I've known, who've gone on to be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:17.
Hebrews 10:24. I am very grateful for the encouragement shown by each of you and others on this website, to keep pressing on in Christ. Philippians 3:13-14.
Wow joosep, very well done! That’s a big milestone, but also a showing of your dedication. Thank you for the encouragement you always bring to each one of us!

Wow. That’s so impressive and inspiring. You’ve been so consistent with your scripture memorisation. And thanks for all your encouragement. Stay blessed. I too am so thankful to have found this site. Back in 2012 for me. 👍
Thank you for asking, Saintman. I was grateful for what you shared yesterday from 1 Peter; those which you mentioned are special to me too. The verse you mentioned from 1 Peter 5 is a verse which an "older brother" (or so he seemed at the time; I was 17 and he was 21) but that older brother shared it with me not long after I got saved. Thank you for reminding me of that verse, Saintman.
It's hard for me to isolate a gem verse; but here's a couple of sequences of verses I've been thinking about lately.
Luke 12:2-5 2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. 3 Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops. 4 “I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!
John 15:9-11 9 Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. 11 These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
That's interesting Joosep. I have been reading John 14-16 lately. My favorite verse from there is this classic: 27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Regarding 1 Peter 5:7, have you heard this song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWcE2QNQE9s
Thank you to jcosimi and to MarkAnthony. Yes, I too love John 14:27 :) As to the youtube link, I've already opened it and will listen to it :) That's probably just the "medicine" I need this morning :)
To JDJDJD, I remember that a while ago (I don't remember exactly when) you asked prayer for your health. Would you like us to pray again -- is there some way we could pray for you today?
I was thinking about that today also. Not being any expert in brain science, but it seems each of these methoda (this website and recitation) comes from a different angle, perhaps each uses different brain paths, and so strengthens long term memory when both are employed.
One can also be tested using initial letters; for example if you take "For God so loved the world", you would be prompted with, "F G s l t w". That can be employed as a step toward recitation.
Here's an online link to a tool which can be used for that purpose. You copy and paste text into the tool and then you get a set of letter prompts: https://memorizer.me/
