Footprints in the Sand

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,

“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”

Lord help this person see that even though they may not feel you in their life at this moment you are right there by them. May they have a long life full of happiness and good health as you remove that depression away from them. May they soon be able to see how you've been there all along by their side working things out for them, better than they expected it to be. Heal their broken heart as they make you Lord of their live and turn everything to you so you can have your perfect will perform in their life. I pray this in your precious name, amen.
