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.”

A little prayer from Twenty Four Hours a Day that helps me get through difficult times:
I will say this prayer for your friend.
And I also want to say that going to treatment shows tremendous courage in the face of fear. The willingness to change, to seek help.
I pray that I may be led out of disorder into order. I pray that I may be led out of failure into success.
And I also want to say that going to treatment shows tremendous courage in the face of fear. The willingness to change, to seek help.
