Footprints in the Sand is a popular poem about walking with God. Symbolized by footprints in the sand, the poem highlights the idea that during difficult times, when only one set of footprints is visible, it’s because God is carrying the person, not abandoning them. It evokes Psalm 55. In verse 22, we’re reminded to cast our cares. One theologian remarked that when we cast our cares, He lifts us up, burdens and all. Just like one set of footprints in the sand. Think about that the next time you see prints on a sandy beach.
