Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. Huh ! Catch 22 ! We are back to gravity and where does it come from. What is it ? The base question of this thread.

Just because you weren't around to see it doesn't mean it wasn't put there by God.

Our Almighty Lord gives them energy.

In isolation, it would. Then they discovered the cosmological constant. And dark energy. And now realize gravity is not the predominant force acting on space-time over large astronomical scales.
