What is the biblical counter-argument to the expression "the Universe provides"?

***I have been given an assignment to address the view held by some people that "the Universe provides."*** My first thought was to investigate the New Age movement and beliefs but, although I found an [extensive *Wikipedia* article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Age#Beliefs_and_practices) , I could find nothing specific about this. I have an old friend who has delved into many New Age philosophies and absolutely believes that many of her prayers addressed to the Universe have been answered in positive ways. According to one ‘Happiness Coach’ you can you make the Universe work in your favour. You just need to set a clear intention and ask the Universe to know what you want. Then you just open your mind and let it come to you from unexpected sources. "The Universe always aligns with your beliefs." I suspect that this idea is not new - worship of the sun, moon and stars goes back into antiquity; likewise astronomy and belief that planets can affect and influence people and events. I have to answer the question "What scripture addresses this idea that "the Universe provides". Unfortunately, I'm running out of time and could use some help in finding Scriptures to present the biblical view. P.S. As a Bible-believing Christian I do not subscribe to the view that the Universe provides. I believe God, the Creator, provides.
