"Although things often don’t immediately get better when we pray, we know that in the end the sick will be made well, wrongs will be made right, and the dead will be raised to life. And James is convinced that, sometimes, God’s future salvation breaks into our present. Sometimes, what will be true someday becomes true today. Sometimes, in response to our prayers, God gives us a glimpse of the world that’s coming, a taste of new creation in the midst of our brokenness. "
