Mine is this one
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along
the beach with the Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed
two sets of footprints in the sand,
one beloning to him and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the
very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life there is
only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most
you would leave me."
The Lord replied "My precious, precious child,
I love you and would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffereing,
when you see only one set of footprints in the sand,
it was then that I carried you."

FOOTPRINTS
Mine will always be The Lord's Prayer. And Jesus taught them to pray:
Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, bring us this day our daily break and forgive our tresspasses (sins) as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, and the glory and the power, FOREVER. AMEN
GOD LOVES US ALL

This is a very beautiful prayer and I have it framed in our bedroom. But tonight I am praying for the lost man in Oregon, who was seeking help for his lovely wife and daughters. They were saved, by the grace of God, but now the father is still missing, the one who put his own life last and his three family members first. He may be dying out there, for the love of others whom he loves. May God bless him and if he has gone to our heavenly father, may his love be a lesson to us all. God save him!
This is my prayer tonight. God bless and good night!

I've seen that same little poem on many, many Christian pictures. When I was a Christian, I flat out plagiarized a prayer of my great-aunt's, because I thought her being older and more experienced in Christianity, she'd be the best one to borrow prayer terms from.
