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,

FootprintsSo 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,
Have you not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,
"The times when you have seen only one set of
 footprints is when I carried you."
