Pastor Ford will remind us today that sometimes the solution to our problem is in our problem. In other words, our deficiency—which is apparent to us in our problem—may be the provision for the sufficiency that God wants to provide for us, but we sometimes cannot easily see the truth about our situation.

The trials of life can wear us down. Unexpected events force us to face a new reality and unanswered prayers lead us to a growing frustration about why God doesn’t intervene. We wonder if anything good can come out of this painful, dark, winter season. On Thursday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, author Grace Wabuke Klein shares how...
