On the other hand, when our relationships are rocky, it can often feel like God is no longer working to keep us together with the person we love so much. If we were to look behind us the first time we met our spouse, we would see two sets of footprints: “one belonging to me and one to my Lord.” For instance, when we meet our soulmate, it feels as if God put two people in the same place for a very special purpose - like it was meant to be. When times are good, we are quick to thank God for his kindness. Sometimes God walks beside us, and other times He must carry us. The reality is that we all go through ups and downs in our lives. Our faith in God does not excuse us from experiencing hardship and sadness.

I just don't understand why, when I need You most, You leave me." But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. "Lord, You told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life. When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Let’s get started! Footprints in the Sand Many people believe that the poem is actually about Jesus' footprints, not God’s. In this post I’m going to share with you the Footprints in the Sand prayer and why it’s such a special poem for Christians.
