Foot Prints in the Sand by Mary Stephenson
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.
Other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life
when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,so I said to the Lord,
"You promised me, Lord, that if I followed You, You would walk with me always.
But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only
been one set of prints in the sand.
Why, When I have needed You most, You have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints is when I carried you."
Footprints in the Sand is beautiful. I love it more and more every time I read it.
