Pray with the global church

God of All Grace, we rejoice in Joe Schmid's return to Your church, recognizing Your hand in this transformation. Your kindness leads us to repentance, and we acknowledge this as a testament to Your unending mercy and love. Establish Joe firmly in the faith, that he might stand rooted and built up in Christ. Let his journey back to You inspire others who wander, revealing the hope and assurance found in You. Draw near to those who doubt, and let Your truth shine brightly in their hearts. Let Your Spirit guide Joe and all who seek You into deeper understanding and communion with Your people. May Your name be glorified through lives transformed by Your grace. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Amen.
