A Simple Process for Memorisation

This is an example of a simple memorisation method that can be applied to any other scripture.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

Have participants read Philippians 4:6-7
Divide the verses into phrases.
