I have done the scripture memory 2009, 2011, and 2013. God has recently used many of those verses to pray for and comfort a friend who is dying. I have prayed my first verse from 2009 so many times: Satisfy me in the morning with your unfailing love, so that I may sing for joy to the end of my days. Give me gladness in proportion to my former misery! Replace the evil years with good. Let me see your miracles; let my children see your glory. Psalm 90:14-16 NLT
