Intervention in the world and hidden taxes

I listened to your lesson on YouTube – Dogmatics Lesson 16, and I didn’t fully understand your conclusion.
If you truly believe that God can perform hidden miracles and intervene in nature, then why assume that He would do this rarely and infrequently? What significance does the frequency of His intervention have?
 
If he can intervene, then maybe he can intervene endlessly, and for my part, I pray that he will intervene in an issue that is close to my heart.

I have elaborated on this many times and have also referred on WhatsApp. In short, of course God can. The question is whether He does so (what is His policy). In general, it seems that He does not intervene, but it is impossible to send a rare and sporadic donation. For an excerpt, search here on the site and in the links I sent.

Yes, you said that in class too, but I don't understand why it is impossible to rule out rare and sporadic intervention, but widespread and frequent intervention can be ruled out?

What is the reasoning for saying that the Blessed One does not intervene frequently? If it is only because we do not feel that way, it is not an argument against hidden miracles, because that is the whole idea of a hidden miracle, that we will not experience it.

In my understanding, the very admission that the Blessed One can perform hidden miracles leads me to the understanding that there is no meaning to natural reality as it appears to us, and this is why I will pray to Him about every issue because He is the only one who is meaningful.
