As I lay in my room...

Today I found myself more or less in a depressed mood. God had asked me to do something really tough last night, and I have been thinking about it for the last 18 hours. But as I was fasting and listening to worship music in my room today I came across a picture frame my mom had given me for my birthday. It holds a story that I found when I was very young, and has always meant a great deal to me when I'm going through tough times.
Here is the story in it's entirety. I hope it blesses someone as it has blessed me.

Footprints

One night a man had a dream about walking along the beach with the Lord.
The sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene,
he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
his and the Lord's.
After the last scene flashed before him,
he looked at the footprints,
noticing that at the most difficult times in his life there was only one set of footprints.
"Lord, you said you'd walk with me all the way if I followed you.
But during the most troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
Why did you leave me when I needed you most?"
The Lord replied,
"I love you and would never leave you.
In your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
that was when I carried you."
