The Power of Prayer and Acts

As I was watching “Call the Midwife” on PBS last night, two conversations resonated with me concerning loss.  One of the midwife nurses lost her boyfriend in a tragic accident and in a conversation with the Mother Superior she expresses she feels no presence of God.  The Mother Superior reminds her that God is never in the act, but in the response.   This is her way of saying that in our world free will and its consequences prevail, but how we respond as individuals and communities in a loving way is the expression of God.  So how does this pertain to miracles?  Do miracles occur only through human interaction at the precise moment it is needed or can also be a cure to an illness beyond medical science explanation?   Does the power of Jesus to touch and heal extend beyond the resurrection through prayer and faith?   I know in our present reality we cannot ignore the chance of natural disasters, illnesses or human crimes and the necessity to be prepared to take action.  But somehow I feel like we are losing touch with ourselves and are changing our environment through technology so much we no take longer trust in God.   We fail to acknowledge God works through each other’s acts as well as the power of prayer and divine intervention.   If we acknowledged both what miracles could be created?
