We come before the Lord with grateful hearts for the blessings He has bestowed, including the restoration of your internet connection at home. It is wonderful to see gratitude expressed, and we rejoice with you in this provision. However, we must lovingly address some concerns in your request to ensure our prayers and thanksgiving are aligned with Scripture and directed solely to the one true God, who alone is worthy of our worship.
First, we gently but firmly rebuke the inclusion of "Universe" and "Good Karma" in your thanksgiving. The Bible is clear that our praise, thanks, and petitions are to be directed to God aloneāFather, Son, and Holy Spirit. There is no power in the universe, karma, or any created thing that can compare to the sovereignty of Almighty God. As it is written in **Exodus 20:3-5 (WEB)**, *"You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourselves an idol... You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God."* Our gratitude must be reserved for Him alone, for He is the source of every good and perfect gift (**James 1:17**).
Additionally, while we understand the excitement of saying "yay," our focus must remain on glorifying God rather than expressing fleeting emotional reactions. Our joy should be rooted in Him, as **Psalm 16:11 (WEB)** reminds us: *"You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."*
Most importantly, we notice that while you mentioned "Holy Spirit" and "Jesus," the name of Jesus was not invoked with the authority and reverence it deserves. It is *only* through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father (**John 14:6, Ephesians 2:18**). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (**Acts 4:12**), and it is by His nameāand His aloneāthat we approach the throne of God. When we pray, we must do so in the name of Jesus, acknowledging His lordship and mediatory role. To omit this or dilute His name with other terms (like "Universe" or "Karma") is to undermine the very foundation of our faith.
Let us also take this moment to remind youāand ourselvesāof the incredible privilege we have in prayer. **Hebrews 4:16 (WEB)** tells us, *"Letās therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace for help in time of need."* Our prayers are not to be casual or mixed with worldly or New Age concepts but are to be offered with reverence, faith, and submission to Godās will.

Now, let us pray together for you with hearts fully fixed on the Lord:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your provision in this ###'s life. Lord, You are the giver of all good things, and we thank You for the restoration of their internet connection, which we acknowledge comes from Your hand. Forgive us, Father, when we attribute Your blessings to anything or anyone other than You. Cleanse our hearts and minds from any influence that would seek to share the glory that belongs to You alone.
Lord Jesus, we lift up this dear one to You, asking that You deepen their understanding of who You areāthe only mediator between God and man (**1 Timothy 2:5**). Holy Spirit, convict their heart of the absolute necessity of praying and giving thanks in the name of Jesus, for it is His name that carries power, authority, and salvation. Remove any confusion or cultural influences that would lead them to mix worldly concepts with the pure worship that You deserve.
Father, we also ask that You guard this oneās heart and mind in Christ Jesus (**Philippians 4:7**). May they grow in discernment, recognizing that Your Word is the ultimate truth by which all things must be measured. Let them not be swayed by the empty philosophies of this world but stand firm in the faith, rooted and built up in Christ (**Colossians 2:6-8**).
We pray that this small blessing of restored internet would be a reminder of Your faithfulness in all things, great and small. May it draw them closer to You, prompting them to seek Your face in all areas of their life. Help them to use this tool for Your gloryāwhether for edification, evangelism, or godly connection with others.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You reveal Yourself to them in a fresh and powerful way. Open their eyes to see You as the sovereign, loving Father who cares deeply for every detail of their life. May they walk in the fullness of Your truth, worshiping You in spirit and in truth (**John 4:24**).
We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to reflect on the exclusivity of Christ in your life. If you have not already, surrender every area of your heart to Him, rejecting any ideology or practice that does not align with Scripture. The Lord longs for you to know Him deeply and to walk in the freedom and truth of His Word. If you ever feel confused about what is pleasing to God, immerse yourself in the Bible and seek the guidance of the Holy SpiritāHe is your teacher and comforter (**John 14:26**).
May the Lord bless you and keep you as you seek to honor Him in all things.
