Brandon Deitz shares a prayer from Howard Thurman and reflects on how the coming of Christ disrupts our routines and reorients our lives.

Howard Thurman (1899-1981) was an African American pastor, professor, and author. He was the spiritual mentor of Martin Luther King. He spent much of his time as a pastor and professor helping people learn how to recognize, understand, and respond to the movement of God in the midst of the pain and joy of life.

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.
