Just some thoughts that can be surely picked to pieces...
1. Prayer isn't God just sitting around waiting for man to guide Him as to the next move...it is man communicating with God in the will of God(such as praying for rain or rain stoppage which was already in God's plan and the prayer partner had learned God's heart.) Prayer is always answered yes when human thoughts align with God's thoughts. Of course someone will push the envelope on that one and say they prayed for someone to die, pull the trigger, the person dies and then say it was in God's will. Permissive will...yes. Did God demand that person's passing at the hand of evil...no, but allowed it and will work good when people do their best to thwart it. God is the Giver of life and the One that controls the very exact moment the earthsuit expires. Do we really want everyone to live forever and never suffer? Exactly do and that is what He promises yet many reject the free gift. Okay, so it isn't free. One has to be willing to exchange human effort for divine accomplishment.
2. Do people REALLY want God to override all of their ignorance, purposeful choices that will lead to harm, or just plain negligence that prevents good(why was there a fire in a fire station apartment...hmmmm, ignorance, human fraility, negligence, etc?)? Imagine that...it would be peace on earth, wouldn't it? A world without sin. Isn't that what He offers within hearts before His second coming and on earth after His second coming that is rejected?
3. All those things mentioned in the article(healings, etc.) experienced were a confirmation of the Word's ministry during His walk in history in the form of human flesh. It doesn't mean that miracles and healings do not exist today...just that they are not necessary to prove what God can do when the account has been put to writing for each generation since.
4. Bitterness is ugly. I doubt God created fire(though laws of nature and human intervention would apply for it to be revealed such as poor wiring, cigarette ignited, etc.) to purposely consume a child's life and ruin lives of others. The writer is dealing with guilt...human guilt of someone maybe never revealed. Forgiveness is a good step for healing to begin(forgiveness of others has a great opportunity to flow outward when individual sin against God takes place).
5. God has provided evidence of Himself to each and every individual. Creation surely speaks to people that something or someone created in a timely order and holds it in a orderly fashion. Even a man's conscience knows there is good and an absence of good. Suppress that provided understanding and exchange it for something inferior and it will be a real stretch to embrace the written revelation of God.
