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."
