Scripture to Memorize While Running

A good way to train your body and your mind is to memorize scripture while running. Before you run,
take a piece of medical tape and write the scripture on the tape. Then place the tape on your arm. It helps you focus on something other than your running and you carry another piece of God's word in your heart for the day.

Below are scripture that I have found that can be encouraging for runners. Some are 'creative'. Others are powerful. I will update as I find more.

#1: 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him. (1 Corinthians 2:9)'

#2: (I am) 'like a champion, rejoicing to run his course' (Psalm 19:5b)

#3: 'A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.' (Luke 6:40)

#4: 'The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands.' (Psalm 138:8)

#5: 'For a long time now-to this very day-you have not deserted your brothers but have carried out the mission the Lord your God gave you.' (Joshua 22:3)

#6: 'The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.' (Genesis 11:6)'

#7: '...anyone who comes to God must believe that He is and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him" (Heb.11:6)'

#8: 'I hold fast to your statutes, O Lord; do not let me be put to shame.' (Psalm 119:31)

#9: 'I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free.' (Psalm 119:32)

#10: 'Come what may, I want to run.' (II Samuel 18:23a)

#11: 'Teach me, O Lord, to follow your decrees; then I will keep them to the end. (Psalm 119:33)

#12: 'Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives tales, rather train yourself to be godly.' (I Timothy 4:7)

#13: 'For physical training has some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for the present life and the life to come. This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance.' (I Timothy 4:8-9)

#14: 'He sends His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly.' (Psalm 147:15)

#15: 'I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.' (Proverbs 4:11)

#16: 'When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.' (Proverbs 4:12)

#17: 'Hold onto instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.' (Proverbs 4:13)

#18: 'The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and they are safe.' (Proverbs 18:10)

#19: 'Woe to those who rise early in the morning after their drinks, who stay up late at night until they are inflamed with wine.' (Isaiah 5:11)

#20: 'Even youths grow tired and weary, and young me stumble and fall;' (Isaiah 40:30)

#21: 'But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.' (Isaiah 40:31)

#22: 'Run for your lives. Become like a bush in the desert.' (Jeremiah 48:6)

#23: 'Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.' (Luke 6:38)

#24: 'Do you not know that in a race, all the runners run, but only one gets the prize. Run in such a way to get the prize.' (I Corinthians 9:24)

#25: 'Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.' (I Corinthians 9:25)

1) It’s My Life by Bon Jovi

It's my life,
It's now or never,
I ain't gonna live forever,
I just wanna live while I'm alive’

Another one bites the dust

And I'll be...

Taking care of business every day

Taking care of business every way

I've been taking care of business, it's all mine

Taking care of business and working overtime

Work out! 

5) Marathon by Rush

It's a test of ultimate will

The heartbreak climb uphill

Got to pick up the pace

If you want to stay in the race

More than blind ambition

More than simple greed

More than a finish line

Must feed this burning need

In the long run... 

6) Dust in the Wind by Kansas

Now don’t hang on

Nothin’ last forever but the earth and sky

It all slips away

And all your money won’t another minute buy

Just let them burn their eyes on you moving

And if they shout

Don’t let them change a thing that you are

Got the wings of heaven on my shoes

I rolled on as the sky grew dark

I put the pedal down to make some time

There’s something good waitin’ down this road

I’m pickin’ up whatever is mine

That never would come to me

Workin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leads

I’m runnin’ down a dream 

11) Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult

Seasons don't fear the reaper

Nor do the wind, the sun and the rain

12) Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf

Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin' for adventure

And whatever comes our way

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of your guns at once

And explode into space

Born to be wild

Born to be wild

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone

Turned on some music to start my day

I lost myself in a familiar song

I closed my eyes and I slipped away
