It's a pleasure to welcome you to my website--thank you for stopping by!
My name is
April Yamasaki, and I write about Scripture, prayer, and other acts of faith in everyday life.
How do we pray when we can't find the words and prayer seems impossible? How does Scripture speak into the joys, concerns, changes, and challenges we live every day? What does it mean to act on our faith? These are vital, ongoing questions, and I'm eager to explore them with you.
So please take a look around--you'll find my latest articles on
my home page, my most recent books below plus
a complete list here, information on
my speaking, and
a more formal bio here.
Please feel free to leave a comment at the end of any article, share on social media, or
contact me for writing, speaking, or just because. I would love to keep in touch:
Shared with permission from Joy Lenton–poet, blogger, grace-dweller, and recovering perfectionist. Thank you, my friend, for this beautiful prayer. May you find sacred pauses in each day to rest in God’s presence and peace.
Thank you so much for sharing this prayer, April! God bless you, my friend, as you seek sacred pauses and rest in Him. 🙂
My pleasure – your post is beautiful, and I love the way you’ve turned the prayer into a visual. I’d like to do better with visuals on my blog too, and in the meantime am happy to share yours. Thanks!
You’re very welcome, April. And if you ever have guest posts on your blog then I would love to be considered to write for you too. 🙂
Joy, here is some information about guest posting on my blog: https://aprilyamasaki.com/guest-posting/
I would love to have you as a guest! Also, I received a comment by email from a reader who would like to print a copy of your prayer. I’ve referred her to your original blog post where you say “Feel free to pin or use as you need to” — thank you for your generosity.
Thank you, April. This info is really helpful. And I enjoyed reading the guest posts you highlighted. I will need some time to recover from the flu, pray and think about the best way for me to write for you here and will be in touch as soon as possible. Thank you also for sharing the interest the prayer has generated. It is always my aim to bless and encourage others in their walk of faith. Every blessing in Him. 🙂 x
