Lauren Kussro offers a prayer from 4th century Syriac church father, St. Ephrem of Syria, and reflects on the posture of the heart on the Advent journey.

During Advent and Christmas, Art Story Mission is exploring Prayer through a curated collection of historical and multicultural prayers. As we pray along with Christ followers from around the world and throughout history, we hope that your Advent season will be a time of renewed prayer and preparation for the coming Christmas celebration.

We want this season of Art Story Mission to be a simple offering, keeping with the spirit of Advent. We asked 6 people to select a prayer and include it in their daily prayer time. Each week we will feature a prayer curated by a member of our community, along with a reflection from that person’s experience with the prayer.
