Prayer Offered for April 1, 2025

“There is no greater folly in the world than for a person to despair.”

_{(Miguel de Cervantes)}

Gracious God, who tolerates fools gladly: On this April Fool’s Day, we trust that it is Your wisdom that has gathered us in this place. We come before You with humble hearts, seeking Your guidance through our moments of foolishness. Grant us discernment to recognize the difference between lighthearted fun and actions that may cause others to despair. 

As we seek to embrace our vulnerability, may we learn from our mistakes, and grow in empathy and understanding of the needs of others. May Your wisdom illuminate our paths, leading us to make choices that reflect Your love and grace. Let our words and deeds bring joy and kindness to all, inspiring each one to greater trust in the goodness of all that is. We ask this in Your name and Happy Assyrian New Year. —AMEN.
