"A man was walking on the beach and he saw footprints in the sand. When he looked at them, he noticed his life being replayed for him inside the footprints. Then he noticed that there was another set of footprints to his right. He looked up and saw Jesus. He realized that Jesus had been there the whole time. As they walked the man noticed that during the hardest parts in his life, there was only one set of footprints. Jesus had left him during the hardest times in life. The man began to get angry. He looked up at Jesus and said "Why is it that, during the easy times of life you were with me, but during lifes struggles you were strangely absent?" Jesus replied saying "I wasn't gone. I have always been with you. The times were you see only one set of footprints, was the time I picked you up and carried you. I love you and will always be here for you."
You might be going through the worst time you have ever had, but just know God is there and He will carry you, if you just let Him.
Here is the original story. The above is a paraphrase off the top of my head.
