The Footprints In The Sand PrayerOne night I had a dream…
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord, andAcross the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; One belonged to me, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before us, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life, There was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowestand saddest times in my lifeThis really bothered me, and I questioned the Lord about it.“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,You would walk with me all the way;But I have noticed that during themost troublesome times in my life,There is only one set of footprints.I don’t understand why in times when Ineeded you the most, you should leave me.
The Lord replied, “My precious, preciouschild. I love you, and I would never,never leave you during your times oftrial and suffering.For when you saw only one set of footprints,It was then that I was carrying you through.Enjoy the Journey,Thomas
