Foot Prints on the Sand
(Copyright © 1984 Mary Stevenson, from original 1936 text, All rights reserved)
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 have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I 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."
Dear Jesus,
Carry me today for I am just a child! Help me obey and learn to walk Your narrow way! I want to trust You as I grow in all the things I need to know Please give me wisdom. You bestow and help me let Your bright light show to everyone I meet below I will rest in Your great arms of love. Thank You Lord for watching over me. I love you Jesus forever. Amen.
