In 'some' way? Surely -- He has created us, knows our spirits before we are born, and knows our tendencies, and knows His own ultimate plans He will accomplish, that those who believe in Christ truly enough to listen to Him will be given eternal life. God is totally in control of what matters.
Notice though that's not the same as saying that if someone gets a flat tire, or the flu, that God caused it. He might on some day with some individual, for a purpose...but we cannot assume that everything that happens, like if I spill a glass of water, or forget to fill the gas tank in my lawnmower, that God has caused me to have an accident or to be forgetful. Instead, He has designed us, evidently able to respond to His words! Able to answer or refuse the urging of the Spirit.
When Paul wrote to believers to walk in the Spirit (Romans chapter 8), it's because they have an ongoing choice each day of whether to do so.
