Foot Prints in the Sand (Original Idea/Poem by Margaret Fishback Powers, Rewording apparently by Mary Stevenson)

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky, sometimes there were two sets of foot prints, other times there were only one.

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 foot prints. So I said to the Lord: You promised me Lord that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of foot prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you the most, have you not been there with me?

The Lord replied, "During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of foot prints it was then that I carried you".
