Consider these timeless words by Margaret Fishback Powers: \u2018One night I dreamed\u2026 I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord. When the last scene of my life shot before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set\u2026 I realised that this was at the lowest\u2026 times of my life. This always bothered me, and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma. \u201cLord, You told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk\u2026 with me all the way. But I\u2019m aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don\u2019t understand why, when I need You most, You leave me.\u201d He whispered, \u201cMy precious child, I love you and will never leave you\u2014never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you!\u201d\u2019 <\/p>\n
And if you need more reassurance, read these Scriptures: \u2018The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear, or be dismayed.\u2019<\/i> (Deuteronomy\u00a031:8\u00a0NASB<\/sup>) <\/p>\n \u2018For He Himself has said, \u201cI will never leave you, nor forsake you.\u201d So we may boldly say, \u201cThe Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?\u2019<\/i> (Hebrews\u00a013:5\u20136\u00a0NKJV<\/sup>) <\/p>\n The word for today is\u2014God is with you.<\/i> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Consider these timeless words by Margaret Fishback Powers: \u2018One night I dreamed\u2026 I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
