The Footprints Prayer
One night I had a dream...
I dreamed I was walking along the
beach with the Lord,
 And Across 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 lowest and saddest times in my
life.

This 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 the
most troublesome times in my life,
There is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why in times when
I needed you the most, you should
leave me.
 The Lord replied, "My precious,
precious child. I love you, and I would
never, never leave you during your
times of trial and suffering.
When you saw only one set of
footprints,
 It was then that I carried you.
