Footprints Prayer
One night I had a dream.
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
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.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, and I asked 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 child. I love you, and I would 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."
