One night I had a dream—
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord and across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints, one belonged to me and the other to the Lord. When 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, there was only one set of footprints. 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 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 most,
you should leave me.”
you should leave me.”
The Lord replied,
“My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, 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.”
it was then that I carried you.”
