I know absolutely that God is real and my savior, that's why a true relationship with Him over time gives me the knowledge of God. So you see I do know things you do not, why do you think I'm so persistent, it's not because I'm crazy.

You may believe it's just faith, and I understand why, because Christianity in your view is to restrictive, so just faith is a way to deny the reality of God. When one truly lives for God in a relationship with Him, one will come to see that what you would call coincidence is actually reality. Coincidence is something that might happen once in awhile. When many of your so called coincidences happen, then it no longer can be a coincidence, luck runs out and reality comes to light. Experiencing God is the only way to be able to know God is real. Faith leads to reality when lived to learn truth.
Ah.... you attribute your knowledge of god to something other people will dismiss as coincidence.
It's interesting to note that no biblical story claims coincidence.... there's always direct contact with the deity. Why is it that your sole point of contact is coincidental events?
And why would you be the recipient of these lucky coincidences, while millions of others equally devout people get nothing?
Does god have favorites?
Again, my point of view throws this into the realm of "it's all in your head".
