One of the most valuable aids to meditation is Scripture memorization. In fact, when I encounter someone who is battling discouragement or depression, I often ask two questions: “Are you singing to the Lord?” and “Are you memorizing Scripture?” These two exercises are not some magical formula to make all our problems go away, but they do have incredible power to change our perspective and attitude toward the issues we are facing.- Nancy Leigh DeMoss. A Place of Quiet Rest, Moody, 2000, p. 166.

God insists that we ask, not because He needs to know our situation, but because we need the spiritual discipline of asking.
