“We do not forget to eat: we do not forget to take the shop shutters down: we do not forget to be diligent in business: we do not forget to go to our beds to rest: but we often do forget to wrestle with God in prayer, and to spend, as we ought to spend, long periods in consecrated fellowship with our Father and our God.”
― Charles Spurgeon

LISTEN TO A WELCOME MESSAGE
8 April 2022
This devotional is for you. It is designed as a tool to help you on an intentional journey of reflection and communion with the Holy Spirit, as we experience Holy Week.
This eight-day devotional has been designed to help us carve out the time to honor and remember Jesus’ life, death and resurrection, especially as we face all the realities of the present. Many of us may need a stronger nudge to approach the Holy Throne with grace and honesty.

What others are saying about With Palms Open:
“I really enjoyed the devotional, it is awesome, really creative and artistic. Also, it is the first time I have seen a physical element added to Spiritual nourishment in a devotional but it makes perfect sense. The Finger of God is clearly on this. 👌🏾”
