🌾 Cue Card 1 — “God Will Provide”

Scripture: Philippians 4:19 (NIV)
“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”

---

Welcome

Good evening, everyone. ⏸
It’s a blessing to gather in prayer for those who are hurting, hungry, and facing hardship. ⏸
We come together not just with words, but with hearts full of compassion. ⏸
Because when we pray, God listens—and God moves.

---

Main Message

Sometimes, life feels uncertain. ⏸
Bills pile up, shelves grow empty, and hearts grow tired. ⏸
But even in those moments, we can trust that God sees us.

When we pray for others—those without food, warmth, or a place to rest—we’re not just speaking words. ⏸
We’re joining our faith with God’s promises.

Think about this:
A food truck pulling into a community center right when the pantry is running low. ⏸
A neighbor showing up with extra blankets on a freezing night. ⏸
A volunteer finding the strength to serve another day. ⏸

These moments remind us that God provides through people like us.
We become the answer to someone’s prayer.

So tonight, we lift our hands and declare:
“He’s an on-time God, yes He is!” ⏸
He may not come when we want Him, but He’s always right on time.

---

Prayer

Heavenly Father,
We thank You for being our Provider. ⏸
Let the shelves be stocked. ⏸
Let the volunteers be strong. ⏸
Let the trucks bring food to those in need. ⏸
Let no child cry from hunger. ⏸
And no elder choose between medicine and meals. ⏸
Let food banks overflow with blessings. ⏸
We speak abundance, grace, and peace over weary hearts.
In Jesus’ name—Amen.

---

🌻 Cue Card 2 — “In the Right Time”

Scripture: Psalm 145:15 (NLT)
“The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it.”

---

Opening

We serve a God who provides right on time. ⏸
When we lift our voices in prayer, heaven hears every cry. ⏸
God moves through helping hands, open hearts, and acts of kindness. ⏸
Even when things look uncertain, God is working behind the scenes to bring hope and provision.

---

Prayer

Lord,
Thank You for hearing the prayers of Your people. ⏸
Bless every home in need. ⏸
Strengthen those who serve others with love. ⏸
And remind us all that You are never late—you’re always right on time.
Amen.

---

🍞 Cue Card 3 — “More Than a Meal”

Scripture: Matthew 25:35 (NIV)
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.”

---

Short Message

When we serve a meal, we’re doing more than filling stomachs—we’re filling hearts with hope. ⏸
Each plate served says, “You are not forgotten.” ⏸
Each prayer spoken reminds someone that God still cares.
This is what love looks like in action.

---

Prayer

Lord,
Let every act of giving be filled with Your love. ⏸
Feed the hungry, comfort the hurting, and send peace where it’s needed most. ⏸
Use us as Your hands and feet to bring hope to our community.
In Jesus’ name—Amen.

---

💬 Closing Reflection

We lift our hands and declare once more:
“He’s an on-time God, yes He is.” ⏸
We’ve seen Him arrive with just enough, just in time.
And we believe—He will do it again.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

 

"I am Sending warm wishes to all the lovely mothers on this beautiful and blessed Mother's Day."

And now, these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 NIV

A perfect and loving family is what we all wish for. We see people who have families that are much different from ours. As we experience their unique culture, we wish we had a family like them. But really, having a perfect family isn't possible. We all will have problems and accomplishments that make us unique from every other family worldwide. So, think hard about how different your family is. Appreciate that you have a family and are never alone because they help us through tough times. It is never foolish to wish for a perfect family, but it is unwise to abandon your unique family.
