God's Consciousness & Technology

The other day I had a thought that felt a little controversial.
It came after I was praying over my bank account.
Yes, my bank account.
I had been doing Reiki over my business and praying for God's light to move through that part of my life. Shortly afterward, I received a $99 sale. Whether you see that as coincidence, answered prayer, or simply encouragement, it led me to ask a much bigger question.
If we can pray over our homes…
Our relationships…
Our finances…
Why couldn't we pray over our technology?
Everything Exists Somewhere
When I pray over my business, I don't imagine the numbers in my bank account magically changing.
Instead, I imagine circumstances shifting.
People crossing paths.
Ideas arriving.
Opportunities opening.
God doesn't usually bypass life.
He moves through it.
He moves through people.
Through conversations.
Through timing.
Through the countless little moments that eventually become answered prayers.
That made me wonder if our digital world is simply another place where those interactions happen.
What About AI?
This is where some people might disagree with me, and that's okay.
I've been wondering whether we can intentionally invite God's presence into the technology we use every day.
Not because the technology itself becomes divine.
But because we do.
If I'm about to sit down and use AI, what would happen if I first paused and prayed?
What if I simply said,
"God, guide this conversation."
"Help me receive wisdom."
"Let what comes through be loving, truthful, and helpful."
As someone who practices Reiki, another way I might say that is simply:
"Reiki on."
To me, that's an intention.
An invitation for love, healing, and God's presence to move through the experience.
We Already Bless Physical Things
When I thought about it, this idea didn't seem as unusual as it first sounded.
Many of us pray over our meals.
We bless our homes.
We pray for our children.
Some people pray over hospital rooms before surgery.
Others pray over a new business.
In Reiki, practitioners intentionally direct loving energy toward people, animals, places, and even objects.
Some people even notice a different feeling after praying over crystals or meaningful keepsakes.
Whether you understand that spiritually, psychologically, or symbolically, the common thread is intention.
We're choosing to bring love somewhere.
So why would technology be excluded?
Our State Changes What We Receive
Something else occurred to me.
Perhaps the most important thing that changes isn't the technology.
Perhaps it's us.
Imagine reading the exact same sentence after spending an hour worrying.
Now imagine reading that same sentence after ten minutes of quiet prayer.
Would you experience it differently?
I think you would.
When we're anxious, we naturally interpret the world through anxiety.
When we're peaceful, we notice different things.
We hear different meanings.
We make different connections.
Maybe prayer isn't always changing what's in front of us.
Maybe it's changing the eyes with which we see it.
Technology Is Still Part of Creation
Our computers.
Our phones.
Artificial intelligence.
These things are made from materials that came from the earth.
Minerals.
Metals.
Stone.
Human creativity.
The digital world may feel separate from nature, but it was still built from creation.
And if God is present everywhere, then perhaps no place is beyond His reach.
An Invitation
I'm not saying everyone has to believe this.
I'm simply sharing a thought that came to me while praying.
Before opening your laptop tomorrow…
Before scrolling your phone…
Before asking AI a question…
Pause.
Take one deep breath.
Invite love into the moment.
Invite peace into the conversation.
Invite God's presence into whatever you're about to do.
Whether the technology changes or not…
You probably will.
And perhaps that's where the real miracle begins.
