The Rabbi, regarding the presence of God in space actively (not necessarily miraculously) – why don’t we learn from the words of Chazal that we should be grateful for the bad just as we are grateful for the good, that this determinism is God? That is, from the perspective of the Creator of the world, there is no difference between a miraculous act and an action that He sent 13 billion years ago, because He has no time, and from His perspective, now and 13 billion years ago are the same moment. And following the question, I propose a view that says, yes, I see a causal world, but I have no interest in how things happen or their form. The main thing is that in the test of the result, God is here and hears me and sees me and cares about my actions and my prayers and my actions have value, through which I can lead myself to my correction. I intentionally say my correction, not the specific requests that I think are important. And there is no need or interest in whether my prayer helped me in this specific moment, as we know. I can pray for something that I think is good for me, but in a greater vision, then it is bad for me. And simply assume the obvious and simple explanation from the Torah and the Sages that the Lord is present and watches over us, even if not in the way that the kindergarten child thinks (miracles).

I didn’t understand the question. That God is watching is agreed upon. The question is whether He is involved. In my opinion, generally not. If the laws themselves are administered by Him – that is certainly possible, but that is not the involvement they are talking about. If everything is according to the laws, even if God is implementing them, then there is no possibility that anything will happen against the laws.
