Other than the obvious - sending us his one and only son to be sacrificed - how so?
God raises and lowers nations. Israel, for instance, was created by Him, and then, He sent it into exile and brought it back. He raised up the Roman Empire in preparation for the Gospel, maintained it, but when she began actively trying to compromise the faith, He destroyed her. A monk even explained that the crown would pass from Constantinople to Moscow, a "Third Rome." Russia, then, suffered a similar fate.
I believe God answers prayers, and He will even still perform miracles. The Holy Light, for instance, still comes every year, a miracle operating like clockwork. I have a thread on it
here. I do believe God still heals when He wants (it's a miracle, and I only know two that recur regularly).
I, thus, believe God still works
