Finding God’s Presence Through Prayer: The Story Behind Anointed Candles and Oils
Some of God’s greatest callings begin in the quiet moments when we simply choose to spend time with Him. For Michele Robinson, founder of Anointed Candles and Oils, what began as personal prayer time in early 2025 soon became an unexpected calling to create products that would encourage others to experience God’s presence in a deeper and more intentional way. Rather than setting out to build a business, Michele felt the Lord gently placing a vision on her heart, one that combined ministry, creativity, and faith into something that could bless homes, churches, and believers seeking a closer relationship with Him.
A Business Built in Prayer
Anointed Candles and Oils was born from a place of obedience. Michele describes it as more than a business. It is a ministry woven together with handcrafted products that encourage prayer, worship, and biblical reflection. Every item is thoughtfully created using pure, non-toxic ingredients because she believes that what we bring into our homes should reflect the care and excellence we offer back to God. Her biblically inspired anointing oils are blended with essential oils and grapeseed oil, while her handcrafted candles are made from pure beeswax sourced in the United States with hemp wicks dipped in beeswax. The candles are infused with the same biblical oil blends found in the anointing oils, releasing a gentle fragrance into the atmosphere as believers pray and worship. Michele’s prayer is that each product helps people breathe in the peace of God and encounter Him in a new and fresh way.
Creating Products with Purpose
For Michele, these products are far more than handcrafted gifts. Throughout Scripture, anointing oil symbolizes dedication to God and reminds believers of the Holy Spirit’s presence. Her desire is that every church and every home would have a place intentionally set apart to meet with the Lord. Whether someone is anointing their family in prayer, lighting a candle during devotion time, or creating a peaceful prayer room, Michele hopes every product becomes a tool that points hearts back to Christ and encourages deeper intimacy with Him.
Stepping Out in Faith
Starting Anointed Candles and Oils came with its share of uncertainty. Michele had never started a business before and openly admits she didn’t know where to begin. Yet she trusted the Lord, believing that if He had given her the vision, He would also provide the direction. She devoted herself to learning everything she could about biblical anointing oils, creating clean-burning candles, testing products, and investing her time, energy, and finances long before she could see any visible results. Looking back, she now sees that every lesson was preparing her not only to build a business but also to deepen her faith through complete dependence on God.
Trusting God in the Waiting
Like many Christian entrepreneurs, Michele has experienced seasons where answers seemed delayed and the harvest was not immediately visible. Those moments taught her one of the greatest lessons of faith. “If He called you to it, He will get you through it,” she shares. Rather than becoming discouraged during seasons of waiting, she has learned that hardship often strengthens faith in ways comfort never could. Waiting invites believers to trust God beyond what they can see, remembering that faith has always required believing in the unseen before witnessing the breakthrough.
Abiding Before Producing
When asked what keeps her spiritually grounded, Michele points to the simple disciplines of abiding with Christ each day. She spends time reading Scripture, sitting quietly to hear God’s voice, journaling what He places on her heart, taking walks in nature, and soaking in worship music. These rhythms continually remind her that the Christian life is not about striving but about remaining connected to Jesus. From that relationship flows every idea, every product, and every opportunity to minister to others.
In addition to her handcrafted candles, anointing oils, faith-based gift sets, and devotionals, Michele also offers prayer and anointing workshops for churches and conferences, as well as vendor tables for church events. Whether teaching, creating, or packaging each order, her desire remains the same: to encourage believers to experience God’s presence in a personal and meaningful way.
A Final Encouragement
As Michele reflects on the journey God has led her through, she offers one powerful reminder that has shaped both her life and her ministry. “The goal in this life is not the fruit. It is learning to abide.” In a world that often measures success by visible results, her story reminds us that God first calls us into relationship with Him. As we remain faithful, trust Him through every season, and continue abiding in His presence, He is the One who brings growth in His perfect timing. Through Anointed Candles and Oils, Michele Robinson continues to encourage others to slow down, seek the Lord wholeheartedly, and discover the peace that can only be found in His presence.
