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."

Footprints in the sand was my nanas favorite poem before she died a few days ago, and I was copying this down to hang up in a remembrance of her. I was so grateful that I could find the exact print she always would use.
I love these words I hid them close to my heart

I've been going through a lot lately, more than I ever have, and today I was crying so hard. Then The Lord reminded me of this poem, I remember that my nanny had this poem hanging in her bathroom when I was a little girl I'd always read it whenever I'd be in there playing with her makeup. I had forgotten this beautiful poem and I know it was God that reminded me of it! Oh how He has carried me through the storm, oh how He has Loved me beyond comprehension...blessings and honor and Glory and Power Belong to Jesus! This poem reminds me of when Shadrach Meshach and Abednego were in the firey furnace, and that there was a forth staring back at them, Jesus Christ shielding them from the fire! Hallelujah!!!! And let us not forget how He told peter to come to Him in the water, and through faith peter walked,although he slipped in a long the way, Jesus was there to pull Him out of the water!!! May God Bless you all abundantly in all that you do In Christ Jesus! Amen ????
I found GOD many years ago high up in the mountains of Northern BC . The world is his canvas. I ask forgiveness and give thanx for all he has blessed me with several times a day .
By comparison to the troubles of the world with so many suffering my problems are miniscule yet he answers my prayer. Truly incredible the power of prayer. I luv Footprints in the Sand.
GOD BLESS
This is my favorite poem All through my life I've known that Our Lord has carried me
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.
when i try and sign up with you it says no page found
one of the greatest poems and stand with Rudyard Kiplings ‘If’. It has lifted me many times when I have been down .
I love this poem

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!
