Great power can come from memorizing scriptures. To memorize a scripture is to forge a new friendship. It is like discovering a new individual who can help in time of need, give inspiration and comfort, and be a source of motivation for needed change

A key to improved prayer is to learn to ask the right questions. Consider changing from asking for the things you want to honestly seeking what He wants for you. Then as you learn His will, pray that you will be led to have the strength to fulfill it.

When you make it clear that you will not vary from your standards, you will be led to individuals like yourself and the criticism from others will become less intense.

A memorized scripture becomes an enduring friend that does not weaken with the passage of time.
