Over the last year, I have been purposefully applying various oils to promote a stronger connection with God. It has been incredible journey for me both emotionally and spiritually.
A few years ago, I applied Frankincense to the top of my head and, for no reason, the tears just flowed. Nothing I did could stop the tears. I had no idea why I was crying; all I knew was that I could not stop. After a few minutes, I felt this sense of relief and release. This has only happened to me a few times, but when it does, the experience is memorable.
Here are my top five oils for prayer.
- Frankincense – This is one of the oils gifted to baby Jesus by the Three Wise Men. This oil is perfect for grounding and spiritual connectedness. Diffuse Young Living Frankincense oil to refine your sense of purpose or add it to your beauty routine for a luxurious experience. Create a safe and comforting environment when you diffuse or inhale this empowering oil—a perfect opportunity to collect your thoughts. When seeking purpose by engaging in prayer, using this oil can enhance your experience. I love this culinary oil to flavour food and drinks.
We also have Frankincense Wellness Oil which is a complimentary medicine.

I like to apply this oil to the outer edges of the ears as it reconnects us with our core strength, so that we can move forward with optimism and inner power.
- Myrrh can help to bring a deeper connection. It was also an oil gifted to baby Jesus by the Three Wise Men and was Moses’ holy anointing oil. In the Bible, David and Solomon highly valued Myrrh.

Gratitude is a powerful human emotion. By conveying and receiving simple ‘thank you’ messages, we can truly derive the pleasure that we seek everywhere else. Gratitude, derived from the Latin word ‘gratia’, means gratefulness or thankfulness. In its simplest form, gratitude refers to a ‘state of thankfulness’ or a ‘state of being grateful’.Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgiving, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.Ways to Use: Apply to crown of head, ears, wrists, neck, feet, or over heart to help foster a thankful heart.Diffuse to promote feelings of gratitude, thankfulness, and appreciation.Add to fractionated coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil and use in a full-body massage to assist with spiritual grounding and emotional balance. - Present Time™ helps you focus on the here and now so you can move beyond the past and progress forward. This blend is balancing, calming, empowering and may promote relaxation. Present Time is especially helpful for those who are dealing with buried emotions or those who have wandering minds; this grounding blend can bring alignment back to the mind and body during times of uncertainty.
- Gathering™ features a blend of aromas that invites you to overcome the chaotic energy of everyday life and keeps you on the path to higher achievement. Containing sandalwood, frankincense, and spruce, which have all been used traditionally for ritual and prayer, this harmonising essential oil blend may assist us in gathering and focusing our spiritual and emotional thoughts towards our purpose.
- Inspiration™ is a blend of pure essential oils that were traditionally used by native people of Arabia, India, and North America for enhancing spirituality and meditation: Cedarwood, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, and Frankincense. This uplifting and harmonising blend can support a calm atmosphere, allowing one to enter the creative centre where higher intuition operates.
- The Oils of Ancient Scripture™ set contains ten oils from the most significant plants, botanicals, materials, and resins in the Bible. I like to apply these oils to the soles of the feet to promote a connection with God.
The places I like to apply the oils are on the top of my head, on my throat or on my heart. I also like to put the oils in the diffuser. Which oils do you use for promoting a connection with God and where do you like to apply them?
