This candle is the fruit of my hands. I create each one at home (PrayerLife Cottage). I then package and ship them from Prayer Life Studio.

I used to run a small business—a full candle studio with many scents, sizes, and varieties. That studio was "faith-based," but as I explained before, I was lukewarm. So that business went down into the water during those 814 days.

During those 814 days, God spoke to me about the work of my hands. He anointed them for candle making. That is how this one candle, one scent, one mission was born.

It wasn't created to compete in the marketplace. It was created to serve the Creator.

Everything about it is intentional, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and blessed by the One True God.

The vessel has a distressed white finish with Philippians 4:6 as a reminder not to worry about anything, but to pray about everything with humility and thanksgiving, so that the Lord may hear us and send us a peace that surpasses all understanding.

The candle carries a fruitful fragrance in honor of Galatians 5:22–23, because asking God to help us produce the fruit of His Spirit should always be a prayer point. We could never accomplish walking in the Spirit without Him.

John 15:5 says, "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."

As sisters in Christ, we should help carry and encourage one another. However, some of us have a zeal to help build God's Kingdom and win souls for Him but don't know how.

This candle was made with that in mind—an intentional gift that can gently point another woman to the Lord. And if not through this gift, you can simply tell them about Jesus Christ.
