*Responsive Intent

One: Wonderful God! Awesome God! How majestic is your name in all the universe.
All: Wonderful God! Awesome God! How majestic is your name in all the universe.

One: Your glory is woven through the fabric of the heavens. Everywhere we turn, below us, beside us, above us, all that we experience is evidence of your presence. Soil, grass, water, sun, moon, and stars, all of them proof of your work in the universe.
All: Wonderful God! Awesome God! How majestic is your name in all the universe.

One: We wonder: why do you care about us? What are we compared to the galaxies spread across time and space, or to the amazing worlds of life too small for us to see or to the great animals of land and sea?
All: Wonderful God! Awesome God! How majestic is your name in all the universe.

One: You have called us to be caretakers, giving us curiosity and wonder that drive us to explore the entirety of creation from the microscopic worlds of bacteria and atom to the telescopic worlds orbiting stars billions of miles away.
  All: Wonderful God! Awesome God! How majestic is your name in all the universe.

One: We are called to care for every life here on earth, and to seek out  life that may exist out there in your universe, all life everywhere a part    of your sacred work of creation.
  All: Wonderful God! Awesome God! How majestic is your name in all the universe.

Morning Prayer Concerns and Celebrations
Prayers of the People and Lord’s Prayer
Our Mother-Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.
