How He Saved Me
My name is Kristan Smith. My journey with the Lord started a couple of years ago. He brought me to my knees and I came running home to him. My life has drastically changed and I have been asking the Lord for guidance on what my new life in Christ should look like. After praying and seeking out the Lord, one night he came to me. He showed me exactly what I needed to do through a dream. I know this dream was from the Lord because it is like nothing I have ever experienced. God has a plan for me and that plan includes spreading his word through candles. He showed me what the candle looked like, and showed me that I needed to have five verses on each candle to help people pray. Whether you need prayer or know someone who might need a little extra prayer, I hope this candle can help you through faith, strength, and forgiveness.
The power of prayer is real.
