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?

Hi,
My name is David King, and I am writing a book on having bicycled across America. In it, I recount stories of beauty and kindness in the hopes of inspiring the reader.
I'm looking to include the Footprints in the Sand poem as something that touched me. I'd very much like to be able to use the version you have above, along with a URL to this page (https://www.onlythebible.com/Poems/Footprints-in-the-Sand-Poem.html). Would this be okay with you?
Thank you!

I just sent this poem to a 22 yr old man who just found out he had leukemia. He posted his test results on LinkedIn and received an outpouring of support! I just wanted him read this poem and understand that Jesus will carry him through this trial.
I'm very thankful that God in His goodness has allowed us this easy way to be reminded of all the benefits we have in Him, even computers.Have a wonderful day and thanks for posting this !!
I have known this poem from my youth, but was reminded of it a time of trial in my life ( I must have copied the link at some time). I thank God for this easy way to be reminded of God's goodness in allowing me to see that all that comes our way in this life is filtered by his hand for our good. Have a great day !!!

I love the prayer.
During a recent onslaught of Tests and Trials, I remembered this Poem. To my amazement, I looked up, after my morning prayer and devotion, and there hanging on the wall, I see this very Poem. It had been left there by my deceased Mother. She has treasured it for many years, as I continue to do.
Absolutely amazing
That’s so beautiful
Hi, this poem has saved my life more times than you will ever realise. I would be grateful if I could learn as much as possible of it’s birth.
I had this poem as a poster back home.I was still in highschool back then.Miss the times.This peom inspired me as a teen.
Amen for that
My Mom introduced me to Foot Prints in the sand. I love this,as a anointed child of God,and write manuscripts to encourage
When I was young, this poem/verse appeared at the entrance of the nursing home where my grandfather was being cared for. I was only 7 years old when he died. It had a great effect on me at that young age.
Prayed to me by someone as I just found out my mother passed away R.I.P Mum, miss you
What I lovely poem thanks prayed
I was given this a year after my husband's passing. I was really at a low place, mad at God, where would my life take me....I was raised in God's house and worked in his teachings throughout my young life so I professed to hate him.(I know, a strong word) why did He need my husband..at such a young age (53). Footprints in the Sand turned my life back to what it once was. I'm 77 and still active in His teachings!
The most fantastic and comforting words I've ever heard. I known them for a long long time
My mum passed away sadly on 17th July 2021 un expected and this brings me such comfort
This is always been my ultimate favorite poem absolutely beautiful
I don't care about your weird dreams, Karen...
I can never read this poem with dry eyes.Its so inspiring to my soul,mind,body.When I first was given thus poem 35yrs ago. It just always remind me when I'm at my lowest in life, you're caring me through. Thank you!

Hallelu-YHWH
