Yes. But if you ask for intervention from God, you are demonstrating faith, and God rewards faith. The idea of pre-ordination gets debated a lot in Christian circles (and like most religious debate, gets nowhere). The upshot is this. While God knows what's going to happen, he gives us the option to change our circumstances at any time. He also reserves the right to change circumstances for his own reasons.
It's hard to explain.
