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?

Beautiful story of Foot Steps In The Sand..I live by Gods words of love he has for me..How Great Thou Are..
My life has not been easy but it has been blessed. Through the trials and the worst of times I, to my shame, railed at the Lord. I was angry and full of self-pity trying to find someone to blame.
I look back now and can see that many of the trials I faced should have finished me off but over and over and over again I survived and, on occasion, prospered. I realize now that for every time I was knocked down God picked me up, every single time I cried out in the night God answered me, and every time I thought I was alone in the world he held my hand.
This poem is the epitome of those times and I truly love it, it brings me great comfort and reminds me of God's love.
For all of the people out there struggling, to those fighting to find the light amidst so much darkness remember hope floats- It cannot be smothered and cannot be drowned, it's a gift directly from God's heart to yours.
The Lord never gives us more than we can handle, he sees our strength even when we cannot, and only gives the hardest battles to his toughest soldiers so have faith.
God bless.
My best friend Karen absolutely loves this beautiful poem. It reminds her of her Mother. That unfortunately won't be with Us much longer.?. I also truly adore this one and it helps with My other 2 life long best friends being in Heaven already. Thanks

I LOVE this poem. It is giving me great comfort while going thru some very challenging txs and surgeries for multiple conditions that have no cure. I would luv the square blue print/picture and the pillow. Can u email me on where to order and the price?
very nice site, one suggestion a few years ago i saw footsteps printed on a blanket, maybe you should look into selling them.
I bought a picture of this saying 38 years ago in India. I wish I still had , the Faith to believe.
Just sitting here thinking of this verse, looked it up & here it is.

I lost my oldest brother less than a month ago. It hurts so bad. As I read this poem, I realize that God didn't leave me during the trials in my life. I realize that He Carried Me. He's Carrying Me Right Now.

I try and look back gratefully at the foot prints every day
I used the blessed emoji at the end of my previous comment but when it posted they turned to question marks
I was wondering what I could say to give people hope in this sad time. I’m in a long distance relationship with a sweet and wonderful woman in the Philippines. She lives in Manila where most of the cases of the virus is there. She’s been worried and feeling depressed and I remembered this poem. I searched and found it here. She’s offline right now but I know she will smile when she reads it. I shared it on Facebook so all my friends around the world can read it too. I pray that everyone stays safe and helps to spread a message of love and hope instead of fear. Thank you for making this beautiful poem available for the world to read. God bless us all????????
Good morning i would like you ti pray for me and my 4 kids keron kiola jahsani and Christina and my name is allison and all of my friends and family too thank you and god bless and be safe
Thank you. A lovely find when I googled footprints! I was reading psalm 77 v19 - your path led through the sea. Your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen. I wondered if this was part of the inspiration for the poem though obviously there were no footprints at all?
Active people believe that only by promoting themselves can promote the world, as long as they promote themselves, they can promote the world
His partner is no longer able to go and visit my brother in law from today, as hospital in UK stopped visiting due to coro virus. This poem is priceless, as is God's Word, the Bible. Thank you.
We have my husband's brother in hospital in UK, having suffered a severe and rare stroke with bleeding in the thalamus. I shared this poem with relatives in the UK.
Thank you.
This Poem brought me through the hardest times my life.
Some people dont know the deep true meaning
I have always LOVED this poem;and now with the trials and tribulations I've been facing, it definitely softens my heart. So I've decided this to be one of my PRAYERS before I go to sleep every night!
Amen and Amen
I do great work and I am not given enough credit. Screw you lot!
