Choosing a Verse for the Season & 20 Verse Ideas

For the past few years I have been trying to get better at memorizing Bible verses. When I was young I was in the habit of memorizing a lot of verses thanks to school, AWANA and Sunday school but the expectation to continue memorizing verses went away as I became an adult and so did the habit.

One way I’ve been trying to get into the habit of memorizing verses in the last few verses is by choosing a verse for the season.

Taking time to dive into the verse, displaying it in my home or other visible places and reading it often have helped me to memorize a number of verses in my adult years. Unfortunately, I’m still not at the memorization rate that I was as a child but to be fair I don’t think my memory is as good now as it was back then either.

CHOOSING A VERSE FOR THE SEASON

Picking a life verse or a verse for the season helps root you in God’s Word and is the perfect way to remind yourself what is truly important in life. It obviously makes sense to pray through the process, and remember: all Scripture is God-breathed, so there really is no wrong verse!

To choose your verse you can begin by looking up certain themes or topics that you need to work on and/or seem to occur often in your life. If anxiety is an issue for you, maybe look up verses about trust, if patience is not your forte, looking up verses on that topic.

Think about what God has been teaching you the last few years. Look through the scriptures and write down the verses and passages that really jump out at you.

Spend some time praying over the verses and choosing your life verse or your verse for this particular season.

Find a place to display your verse somewhere in your home so you can remember it often. You can go ahead and save the images below in the verse ideas section and use them as a screensaver on your phone so it is visible in your everyday life.
