using video in prayer

despite being a medium largely used for entertainment, video can be effective in a worship setting to inspire prayer

just as concentrating on an image such as a painting can help focus for prayer, a loop of video images, whether random or forming a linear narrative can be equally valuable . video can also be used as ‘wallpaper’ in worship - a contantly evolving background that might inform or enhance worship in the way stained glass does in many churches . in such a situation softer calming images might help the congregation enter into a time of prayer

much of the news we receive and our understanding of it comes from the television, excerpts of news broadcasts - whether used as a large projected image, or on a normal tv as a prayer station - can be particularly effective in suggesting topics for intercessory prayer . this is most effective if used without the sound and suitable music is substituted
