Day 3: Repeat It

Just as we’ve read the passage out loud and handwritten it, we want to try to repeat the verse multiple times to memorize it. You can do this by reading the verses out loud and slowly trying to look less at the words and reciting more from memory. If helpful, sing the song while you’re repeating it. Look again at the first letter technique for assistance as well! As you do this work of repetition, the words will come more naturally to your mind as you seek to recall the verse(s). If you have enough time, try repeating the Scriptures you’re memorizing five to ten times! You’re on your way to meditation. Consider repeating the passage in the transitional moments of your day instead of checking your email or looking at social media.

Remember to light the Advent candles and sing or listen along to the passage as you’re able. Jesus is your joy!
