"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17
"I have stored up Your Word in my heart, that I might not sin against You." Psalm 119:11
"Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Psalm 119:105
So often, people fail to memorize Scripture because they fail to try. Excuses abound. However, memorizing Scripture doesn't have to be an overwhelming, daunting task. Anyone, young or old, can do it.
There are many strategic methods for learning Scripture by heart, but perhaps the simplest is to use 3" x 5" index cards. Index cards are advantageous for a few reasons. First, they are lined. That helps with writing part. Second, index cards are easy to hold (in small quantities anyway). They are handy, if you will. Third, because of their size, they are portable. You can easily take them anywhere. Last, because they are made of paper, a little piece of tape will allow you to attach one just about anywhere: on the mirror, on the dash of your car, in your locker, on the refrigerator, by the door, etc.
Over time, learning one verse by heart each week, you will have learned 52 verses in a year. Of course, that would be the minimum. You can learn as much as you set your heart and mind to memorize.
