Isn’t it amazing how children outgrow their clothing over the summer needing you to buy more in a new size. One thing they will never outgrow is God’s Word. There’s no better way to send them off to school than dressed in 52 kid friendly Bible memory verses.
We both began our back to school mornings by getting the kids up, dressed and ready to spend time going over our Bible verse for the week. Some mornings our Bible memorization work moved to the carpool line!
Then our mornings changed when we made the decision to homeschool our children. Our morning pace slowed down and we were able to spend more time and focus on what mattered most to us.
When they headed off the college, we slipped sticky notes and reminders into their books, notebooks and mailboxes to help them alway remember that God’s Word is for everyday whether it’s school, homeschool, college school, or the school of hard knocks…..life.
We chose 52 back to school Bible verses for kids to help them memorize one a week all year long.

You can find this printable of 52 back to school Bible verses (Also available in KJV) in our freebie library along with other reminders to help you start your back to school season!
It’s amazing how our brains are filing cabinets of information and able to recall memories from years past.
But when we are facing a struggle, enemy, or difficult situations, we forget what can make the most difference. God has provided words to help us remember what to “think”.
Philippians 4:4-5
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:19
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
What the world needs now and always is love. Everyone is looking for love and desiring to be loved. What the world and we all need to remember is that God loved the world so much He gave His only Son, Jesus. Jesus demonstrated His love by giving His life for us when our sins separated us from a holy God.
Jesus died and was raised to life defeating death so that you can live with Him for eternity. While we are here on this earth, He has given His Holy Spirit to live in you as a reminder that you are never alone.
God’s Word is a love letter to you so that you do not forget how much He loves you and wants you to share His love with others.
1 Corinthians 16:13-14
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.
Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

1 John 4:9-10
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
1 John 4:11
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:19

As a child of God, you should reflect the image of Christ. That means not always doing what we think, feel or desire, but rather to be selfless, forgiving and love even when it’s hard.

Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Ephesians 4:32
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
You are not suppose to act like the rest of the world. Followers of Christ should look different, act different and be different. Remember you are the message of God’s love, Jesus, to those around you. How can you be His light if you look just like the world?
You are unique, fearfully and wonderfully made down to your fingerprints and DNA. God has given you a story to tell and a purpose to love Him and others. Use your unique individual self to be the messenger of His love!

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:9
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Sometimes life can be hard. It’s not a matter of “if”, but rather “when”. God has provided reminders for us when the hard times or struggles come. That doesn’t always mean He will change our situation, consequences or take away our worry, pain and grief. But it does mean He will show us a way to handle or deal with things and we are never alone.
Psalm 46:10
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:29-30

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
Psalm 56:11
In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?
Heading back to school brings new people and relationships into our lives. All of a sudden our hearts begin to fall in love and want to be loved.
Oh but that heart can be a fickle little thing and easily broken. Why is the heart so important?
The physical heart pumps life giving blood throughout your body and it takes away the trash simultaneously. Isn’t that an amazing organ? God even placed a rib cage around your heart to protect it.
It is no surprise that God would use the spiritual heart as an important organ to carry and contain love. But it is our responsibility to make sure it is protected and that the trash is “taken out”.
God gave us all a spiritual heart with a void…. a need to be filled. He wants you to need Him, love Him and be filled by Him. Only God can truly fill the void in us. When we try to fill our hearts with something or someone other than Him, we find temporary relief, happiness or love, but it’s not permanent.
Fill your heart with love for God, and He will fill you with love for yourself and others.
1 Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Proverbs 4:23
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Proverbs 4:24
Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
Proverbs 4:26-27
Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
