God can do anything, but He does nothing without those who believe. We read in the Bible who God is. We may have proved Him for ourselves up to this moment: but for the future, we can do no other but trust. No faith is needed to believe two plus two make four: but life is a degree more complicated.
Circumstances change like the ocean. The vastness of things affects the future. Obviously, what God might do is affected; He does not cut across events as if they did not occur. He may work no magic, turn no pumpkins into golden coaches.
But He is all-wise and all-powerful: so much so that we have to leave things to Him to sort out; for we may understand no more of what He is doing, than we would understand the chaos of a shipyard building a fifty thousand-ton luxury liner. We look to Him; and that is something God takes into account. He made the world that way.
Prayer and faith will enable Him to do what He could not otherwise do. No doubt it is true that God can do anything: but He does nothing without those who believe. That is His planned providence, His promise to you.
