Deuteronomy 31:6

Be strong and courageous,
do not be afraid or tremble at them,
for the LORD your God is the one who
goes with you. He will not fail
you or forsake you.

Deuteronomy 31:6

This Poem goes to interpret the above verse from the Bible.

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."

Mary Stevenson, 1936
