One may say there is many ways to speak to god, through prayer, actions or even words. But how many ways are there for him to speak to you?

I prefer to use probability, it's not exact but it works. I developed a list of numbers attached with meanings, I'll post a few here. While browsing your web, walking around town, or whatever it is you do. Keep a look out for these numbers and meanings.

Take this as a translation, or maybe even a numerical Rosetta stone.

Feelings/Mood
(123 - Doing well.) (222 - Doing great.) (333 - Doing bad.) (444 - Doing horrible.)
(888 - I'm doing okay.) (999 - I'm feeling amazing.) (312 - Angry.)
(734 - Angry at them.) (534 - Displeased with you.) (634 - Displeased with them.)

Questions
(111 - How are you?) (919 - How can I help you?) (616 - Could you help me?)

General
(723 - Great things await.) (421 - Have faith.) (321 - Patience.) (555 - Today will be great.) (1234 - I will guide you.) (411 - Thank you.) (511 - You're welcome.) (611 - Proud of you.) (311 - I love all my children.) (000 - I will help you.) (112 - Ashamed of you, change that.)

That's all I'll be sharing, I'm not expecting anyone to try or to believe in this. Do with it as you'd like, I could care less. I just thought I'd share, enjoy reading, maybe you'll try it out?

I suspect an allegedly all-power-all-knowing "something" could scrape together something that might rise above chance and confirmation bias.

Probably not. Applying confirmation bias (which seeks and finds confirmatory evidence for what we already believe) and the hindsight bias (which tailors after-the-fact explanations to what we already know happened), and you can get interesting results that do not require an outside agent.

It is the stuff on which conspiracy theories are built.

Why not try replacing the numbers with different makes and models of cars?

This seems to be a dull version of what used to be known as 'affirmations from the world around us', a positive-thinking strategy where small events - positive, neutral, or negative in popular view - would be interpreted as personal 'messages', either positive and uplifting, or educational. It's a great mood enhancer as long as you don't start believing that it's any more than a deliberate subjective interpretation of impartial events; unfortunately, some people do...

A safer strategy for those with magical thinking tendencies is to 'always look on the bright side' - try to find something positive about every situation; rejoice in the good things, try to work out a positive side of the 'bad' things (although sadness and grieving over personal tragedy is normal and natural - let's not get obsessive about positivity).

This reminds me a lot of a rather special method I use for determining the weather. I have a bush outside my front door that can predict the weather, minute to minute with incredible accuracy...

1. If I touch the bush and it's warm...it's hot out.
2. If the bush feels cold...it's cold out.
3. If the bush is wet...it's raining.
4. If the bush is moving around...it's windy.

It's almost uncanny. Perhaps god is trying to communicate the weather to me through the bush?

God has other, far more sophisticated methods of communicating with those that he is less than pleased with.

Numbers would be my last choice.

Call me insane if you'd like, I've very well aware I'm not seeing anything anyone else can't see.
As I said, I really don't care for your opinions if they are just to make me feel bad about myself. If you don't like, or don't agree with this topic, kindly ignore it.
Here are a few more.
(101 - Try harder.) (447 - Take care.) (665 - Danger.) (212 - Ashamed of them.) (556 - Be careful down this path.)

Dear AnonymousPerson. There are many ways to show our love to God our Heavenly Father. Jesus told us in
Matthew 22: 35-40: " The first and great Commandment is: Love God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. The second is like it: love thy neighbour as you love thyself." In verse 40 we are told: " On these two Commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." God is Love and God wants loving sons and daughters.
Matthew 7: 7-10: tells us: " ask and you shall receive," we ask God for Love and Joy, then thank God and share all love and joy with our neighbour. (neighbour is all we know and all we meet, friends and not friends) We keep asking for Love and Joy, then thank God and share all love and joy with our neighbour. God sees our loving efforts, and God will bless us.
We have to " Repent and be Born Again," give up our selfish wishes and wants, and start Loving and Caring, be friendly always. A Christian`s weapon is love and joy, and we will find that people treat us the same as we treat people. We might stumble and forget at times, but then we ask God to forgive us, and carry on loving and caring.
The Holy Spirit will help and guide us, and Jesus our Saviour will lead us all the way: JESUS IS THE WAY.
Love is very catching, and we will gradually change into the men and women which God wants us to be: Loving God
and loving our neighbour. I say this with love, AnonymousPerson. Greetings from Emmy, your sister in Christ.
