Question

How does absolute trust in God align with the prohibition against relying on miracles?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

It is written in the book "Chovot HaLevavot": 

Since the Torah obligates a person to make efforts in medicine, livelihood, etc., one who does not fulfill the duty of making efforts creates the very reason for not receiving what is due to him by providence.
