Footprints Prayer..............


Footprints in the sand
One night I had a dream......
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord
and across the sky flashed scenes of 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 were only one set of footprints in the sand.
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 noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life,
there were 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 in your times of trouble and suffering".
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you"..............
