MEMORY VERSE DESCRIPTION
A new scripture is assigned every week to learn and memorize. The easiest way to memorize the verse is to write it out each morning in the morning Journal. The reason for this is to retrain the mind into thinking positive thoughts instead of negative ones. The words from the Bible are containers of power. When these words of encouragement, or truth, are spoken it refocuses the mind in moments of weakness, fear or sadness.
