Silly Prayers

Lately I've been noticing that God has been occasionally answering smaller, less important petition prayers rather than actual big important prayers.

Like today I was waiting for my ride home from work and it was late already and I just offhandedly said, "God please let my ride come soon." My ride came within a matter of seconds. (I know naysayers and atheists will call this coincidence but God is still in control of coincidence's isn't He? ;) )

Or when I offhandedly "prayed" that I would not founder when confronting one of my bosses about some undeserved harsh words several days before, as I have a tendency to back down in those sorts of conversations, and I stayed strong the entire conversation. (No, I didn't get the apology I was looking for and instead she turned it around on me and make herself look like a victim under attack which was soooo not the case)

But when I pray for things like "Keep my loved ones safe and healthy" or "Please give me the days of rest I need" or "Please turn my situation at work around" or the biggest one "Please bring healing to all sufferers of tinnitus" either nothing at all happens or the exact opposite happens.

I can't understand why God seems to take delight in answering largely unimportant prayers instead of ones that really matter.

I'm still a bit at odds with God and still upset with Him but I do still acknowledge that He reigns supreme and none of my feelings can change that fact. Also having a bit of fear that perhaps I'm unsaved after all since I don't seem to have the positive connection with God that other Christians on here do.
