Thank you for sharing that, mrsmoo. I've had that experience too, most definitely. Our Lord is gracious and forgiving to those who humble themselves before Him.
I also forgot to add, speaking them out loud as you practice or review them ... whether on index cards or the practice screen here or whereever ... helps to reinforce memory.
not sure if you have ever listened to Esther Mui- She has a YouTube channel and a Website- scripturesongsforworship.com Today she posted a new song.... Matthew 6:31 - 34. Thought of you and your verse set. She uses NKJV which sometimes messes me up because of the subtle words differences. Singing is such a great memory tool for me. I have even woken myself up while singing scripture in my sleep. :)
Hello mrsmoo. I just checked out Esther Mui's youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLWHNkhCKvijdq59bFq0bQw I recommend it! Thank you for sharing that tip, I will be listening to her in the future. Worship is an extremely important aspect of who we are as believers. God has loved us with a great love beyond imagination. His desire and His plan for us, is that we return that love to Him.
I listen to several of her songs every day.... and sing them often on my own. YES.... AMEN, worship and scripture is such a blessing. glad you enjoyed... on her website she also has songs sung in Hebrew which i am also learning. Usually brings tears to my eyes. So thankful.
Don't worry, you'll get there :) As mentioned before, I use a second account, Phinehas, to practice my problem verses.
I also use the Practice feature here on learnscripture (click on the star at the top right where if you hover over it, it says "Progress". There you can practice any verse or any passage which is not actually due for review at the moment. You have to find the particular verse and then click on the bar at the far right, to the right of the stars which rate the verse's progress.
Of course, it's helpful also to have an idea of which verses are the weaker. To do that I maintain a separate list on a Google Sheet. Using that Sheet I assign myself the task of when I should practice a particular passage. If a passage is going to be due two months from now, then I practice it one month from now.
I agree, but your 700,000 is still a good thing! And we praise God for it. For giving us breath, for giving us salvation through Jesus Christ, and for countless other things too many to name.
Thanks MrsSpooner :) a couple of days ago I posted something to you under the name Phinehas. Sorry for any confusion. I frequently forget which name I'm reviewing under :)
