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?

This is one of the most BEAUTIFUL poems that I have ever read!And it has been very beneficial to many,many people,especially in times of crisis in their lives!
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

Your poem is the #1 in support in all my difficult life events. I fell in love with the poem the first time I heard it. I have it throughout my apartment on my walls. To the author, May God bless you and your family
This a moral I will never forget : God is always with us even if we are facing big and scary problems
This is the best poem I have read of Robinson Crusoe
This poem is awesome, it definitely suits these extraordinary times in which we live. May I have your permission to include this poem in a booklet I am now writing to help heal the hearts of those that are brokenhearted? I'll be thankful if you would let me use this poem so I can really bring courage to them in these unprecedented times. Thank you!
God bless.

Praise the Lord. It's very true and also my personal experience that God never leave us alone in any point of time, He always be there to Guide us & protect us. Thanks God, for being with me. I love you my Lord.
GOD is real he has changed my life so much all the glory goes to him . I’m still going thru my trials and tribulations but he has me so no worries . LOVE GOD , LOVE above everything
Thank you. My very Best Friend sent this as a reminder to me, and I needed it right now. We get caught up in life and all that it encompasses and we know God is there, but we forget He’s really there.
