God Will Carry You: Lessons for Dealing with Discouragement

<p>When you are feeling discouraged, remember this powering poem, &quot;Footprints in the Sand&quot;. </p> <p>&quot;One night I dreamed a dream.<br>As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.<br>Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.<br>For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,<br>One belonging to me and one to my Lord.</p> <p>After the last scene of my life flashed before me,<br>I looked back at the footprints in the sand.<br>I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,<br>especially at the very lowest and saddest times,<br>there was only one set of footprints.</p> <p>This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.<br>&quot;Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,<br>You&#39;d walk with me all the way.<br>But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,<br>there was only one set of footprints.<br>I don&#39;t understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me.&quot;</p> <p>He whispered, &quot;My precious child, I love you and will never leave you<br>Never, ever, during your trials and testings.<br>When you saw only one set of footprints,<br>It was then that I carried you.&quot;-Author Unknown</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cherie-hardy/message
