I think that SOMETIMES God will step in and handle business. Other times He will nudge us in the right direction. Other times He will leave us to our own decisions. We don't know when he will do what. All we DO know for sure is that in the end, God wins.

I agree with you that we have to take some action. The best we can do is to ask God for guidance and then make the best decisions we can, having faith in His guidance. We should not just sit back and expect God to fix it all without us having to shoulder any of the burden.
