I liked that one, very neat!
So God is taking part in all of that.
If you don't know what i'm talking about then check scene where in LUX about 27 minute where Lucifer "saw" Uriel. It didn't looked like he got that message tho. -

??? You've never had a family member or loved one die yet, have you? It's common when someone dies that you'll see them in strange places. It used to happen to me all the time when I was a kid, I'd see my dad drive by in a car, or standing outside my school, or in the checkout line at the grocery store. It's a fairly normal psychological response to the death of someone close to you.

That's not what i was talking about. There is the direct message, and i assume that's from God to Lucifer. Message like words (sentence) not just a glimpse from Uriel. Watch carefully. Am i only one "seeing" it? I don't want to spoil discovering it so i'll explain myself later if noone else will.
P.S. I thought it was quite obvious. -

I'll watch again.
One repeated theme I've seen, and is in the Uriel scene as well, is a person telling him "It's not your fault".
Is that what you're talking about?
The shooter says it too. In fact, the word fault is used 7 times I think in this episode?

Yeah, the shooter actually said "because you didn't deserve it".
And the word "deserve" is used 5 times, including once in a song lyric.
It might be a message from God, but it could also just be a person attuned to hearing certain things when they're feeling guilty. No way to know.

Checking subtitle too

Maybe it nothing of course or screen writers just having fun. For me it doesn't make sense without message to Lucifer. If someone spills my drink accidentally i wouldn't say "it's not your fault", "no worries" was more than enough for that moment. -

lol "it's not your fault" is exactly what I would say. I'm always the apologist in those situations, even when it's NOT my fault. I was raised to be polite and try to make the other person feel better. Actually, lots of females are.

The thing is, the writers have intentionally been very ambiguous about whether God's actually involved in his sons' activities, very much like his involvement with humanity is unknown. Things can be attributed to him, sure, but just as easily attributed to other things. There's always been a reasonable explanation for everything that anyone might have thought God was involved in. Even Lucifer's return from Hell (coin). So far, God hasn't been involved when He's really needed to be, in the important stuff, like Amenadiel bringing Malcolm back from the dead, or Uriel going psycho off the rails, or Mom getting out of Hell. So it's a little hard to assume that He's tinkering around sending messages via strangers to help Lucifer feel better about himself. It's a little out of character, but this is why we always have the old adage to fall back on, God works in mysterious ways.

I read a theory on an other Lucifer forum that the waitress that bumped into Lucifer (or Lucifer bumped into her) when he goes to talk to "Uriel" was a sign from God.
When Lucifer tells her that he's sorry, she says something like it's not your fault.
I like the idea that God may be communicating with Lucifer like that. It reminds me of Father Frank, whose episode was written by the same person who wrote this episode, if I remember correctly.
