The Prayer Motivator with Daniel Whyte III show

Summary: Our prayer motivator verse for today is Matthew 5:43-44, which says: “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” <br><br> Our prayer motivator quote for today is from John Calvin, an influential French theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation and one of the leaders in the development of Christian theology. . He said: “Our prayer must not be self-centered. It must arise not only because we feel our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need as acutely as our own. To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them."
