Hi Bruce, I am enjoying your sessions immensely. I love listening to the songs and music but I feel very disconnected when I have to watch Justin and Micaela and the other singer. Why do they all have their eyes closed. It is much more personal to me if they open their eyes and connect to us the audience, when they keep their eyesOpen. I feel the message they are trying to convey is all about them. It makes such a difference To us the audience the very limited times they open their eyes and connect with us. If they… Read more »

I totally agree Phillips. There are times they even look as if they are in pain. Such a shame not to be able to appreciate their music if one watches them.

Hi Philippa Thanks for your question. It is a good question. Our goal in the Mid-Week Service is to pray and to truly connect with God. While I know television is a visual medium and looking down the camera makes for a connection with the viewer and is the normal way of doing television, we are doing something very different. I want our team as well as everyone watching to connect with God most of all. None of us can answer the many prayer requests we receive. Only God can. My hope is people are sitting in their family rooms,… Read more »

Thanks for explanation. I understand praying with eyes closed but have never thought of it as “closed eyes looking at God”

Philippa I have sung in a choir at Church and I’ve noticed how distracting it is to see many faces and the various expressions I can so easily misinterpret what I see. I find that when
I sing and close my eyes I can concentrate on the Lord and the lyrics. This helps me to worship God rather than focus my attention on what the parish members may be thinking or feeling about the choice of hymns and our singing.

Thanks Philippa for asking your question, as I too have wanted the singers to open their eyes and connect with me as I view, pray and sometimes sing along with them. Thanks Bruce, for your answer, and encouraging all of us, and your Team most of all, to connect with God during your wonderful, inspirational Prayer Services. Philippa, if you can go to the “Radical Forgiveness” video which was aired on Sunday 8 March, 2020 during Lent, you will see Justin and Michaela smiling and looking at each other, eyes open, as they sing together, “Arms of Grace”. I made… Read more »

Thank you Bruce and Team that I can pray with many others for our needs and difficulties. It is so reassuring that the Lord is listening to all our heartfelt prayers and does answer each one of them, according to His holy will. He does have our best interest at heart. His ways will far exceed our ways in dealing with every difficulty, every problem, every crisis we are experiencing right now. I put my trust in God our Heavenly Father, I put my trust in His Living Word, I put my trust in our Lord Jesus and I put… Read more »
