I would
1. Pray
2. Ask my family & friends for assistance, depending on what it is.
3. Seek assistance from governmental departments and/or charity organizations depending on what I need.
No offence, but that's as helpful as facebook likes....
If he prays without doing nothing, then the miracle will not come. If he prays and does something, I am sure there will be a miracle that will happen to him, as long as he can think about how to solve it. If the problem is difficult, he can try to ask someone that he trusts to help him to solve the problem. I am sure that he can get the solution.
