Scripture memory and prayer

Think about adding scripture memory to your prayer life.
In thinking about our current series "Reconciled" wouldn't it be better to have your mind filled with God's truth about His glory as opposed to worldly philosophies that emphasize your personal rights.

The following quotes are from 100 Bible verses everyone should know by heart by Robert J. Morgan help show the importance of scripture memory.

"Bible verses are high powered does of truth that mainline God's wisdom into our reasoning.  They convert the soul, teach the simple, rejoice the heart, enlighten the eyes (Psalm 19:7-9).  They teach, reprove, correct, and instruct, making us profitable in every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17)."

Memorizing scripture gives us:
1.  clearer thoughts
2.  steadier nerves
3.  healthier emotions
4.  purer habits
5.  happier homes
6.  greater respect
7.  eternal optimism
