Footprints in the Sand
Footprints in the Sand, a beautiful poem!
One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at 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, so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."
Would you like a print of that?

Going through so much pain at the moment. My husband is suffering. I spoke with a fellow human being who told me about this poem. I looked it up and found it and couldn’t stop crying. How blessed to hear those words at this time of distress. That You never leave me alone. Thank you for carrying me and may you also carry my husband through this challenging time. I love you
Very moving, and reassuring at this time of life I live on my own
This always brings tears to my eyes. I wish, and want to, be closer to Jesus. Lord, forgive me for all my sins and walk with me. I believe in you.
Love this poem and always treasure these words.
I love this poem and it has gotten me through a lot of hard times. I can still remember my grandma having this poem framed hanging on her living room wall. and I know she would be so happy; that God allowed me to find it again.

Ever since I was a little girl growing up this poem hung in our wall at home and during my hardest moments my eyes would always somehow lift up to see this poem and it ALWAYS made me feel like I was not alone and I was loved. Now at 41 and a mother of 4 myself I shared this with my children who also told me that during there hardest moments it too has helped them remember that they are so very loved and that God is always with them.

beautiful poem
This poem is one of the most true things, and there aren’t a lot of things that are true anymore. But this is completely true.
I am a little girl, and I was sick recently. I felt very sad, but when my dad read "Footprints in the sand" to me, I felt well again. Thank you Lord.
Hi, I had refreshed my understanding of this message from days gone! It reaffirms the reality of god being ever present! although this notion sadly isn't always a consideration
what a beautiful thought. bob
When I first got clean and sober I was working the first 3 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous with my sponsor. I learned that evening that it wasn’t God who turned away from me but rather I turned away. I had done a lot of terrible things while in my disease and was sure God didn’t love me because I was so bad. I learned all I needed was to turn around. In that room when I turned around I felt God’s warm embrace and the love and safety that showed me I had never been abandoned. I know some people who have scoffed at my experience but I wept that night while God held me. When I found the poem “footprints in the sand” I knew I didn’t get to where I was on my own two feet. God had carried me during many of those times. I have a copy I keep on my phone and framed on my wall in my home. If in my humanness if I forget it re-centers me and reminds me that I am not alone. I can’t imagine my life without God in it. Nor would I like to imagine or experience my life without God in it. I ask everyday what can I do to be of service to God. I am not a religious Bible thumper but I am spiritual.
How come it doesn’t say at the bottom of the poem Artist unknown that’s the way I remember it from 40 years ago
Every time I read that poem it reminds me of my Lord and how much he loves me
When our marriage ended after 30 years i fell apart. When i came back to my hometown I was alone but i felt like a presence was with me. A loving presence that cared for me.I know now that Jesus carried me through it all!
I ? LOVE YOU PAPA ; MAMA ; AND MY CHILDREN ? TO MY WHOLE BODY- MIND -HEART - SOUL +:TOTALLY WHOLESOME HERE WITH LOVE IS THE MEDICINE TO OUR HEART'S ? OK SOUNDS
This poem is really great, it’s touched my heart while reading it because severally, I have forgot to acknowledged him that I am always been carried by him

This is such a beautiful poem ... I liked that part the most when he looks behind and there's only one pair prints... And God says tha he had taken the man on his shoulders!
One of the most beautiful poems ever written. If this doesn't touch your heart maybe you need to check your pulse.
I was lost and broken all broken down down until I remembered this poem that hangs on my wall and I remembered who I was. A child of God and it was then, just like that I showed them exactly who I am! With God’s help, anything is possible if you believe in him and yourself. Hope floats! Thank you Jesus for loving a sinner like me and for giving me a second chance at living my dream and God given purpose and destiny for me to freedom road and redemption with grace, humility, with compassion and forgiveness of my enemies who mean me harm.
I belive that God is always with us!
Sometimes we got so carried away with the issue of life that we forget that God is actually with us
Nydelig.
mvh.taa.
It's so true & many times I've been carried by Jesus, the one who loves me the most
That was beautiful.
Was just walking along the beach yesterday with my partner at sunset and we had just reunited after our separation and I told him about the footprints ? verse but couldn’t quite remember all of it and it had such an impact on us that I would love to have a copy around our house to never forget the power of Jesus and his love and the day we reconnected thankfully Suzanne
I absolutely love this poem. I’ve had so many many times in my life when my Lord carried me.
This is my favorite. I . I want the Lord to walk with me through my trials and tribulations in my darkest hours, and if that time should come, then I want to see one set of foot prints then I will know he carried me home. Thank you for this This moment in my life
This poem is so meaningfull to me.

The last paragraph struck me the most, we often not realized when God carry us through our tough time because we are focus on the struggle and not try to rely on Him, as God had said, "Be still and know that I am God," He is God, Our Father Who can command the stormy sea to be calmed.
I need this in my life right now.
For a friend who is very low.
Heart touching reminder to me about my loving and caring heavenly Father
This prayer is in my heart since my father showed me as a little girl,so many times, footprints ?? has comforted me through ,I've read to my children,and loved ones ,light and love in every word ,holy spirit shinning shimmering through another storm
