Others don’t see it as necessary, whether they hadn’t even considered it or simply prefer to stick to the regular rules of grammar.
God pronouns are a different story. When God inspired the human authors of Scripture to write His Word, He did not lead them to give any special attention to pronouns that refer to Him.
Continue following your conviction. Again, this is not a right vs. wrong issue. If you are not capitalizing pronouns that refer to God because you believe proper English grammar/syntax/style should be followed, wonderful! 1. He (with capitalized “H”) is a Person, a GREAT Person, three-Persons-in-One, the Creator of the universe and the One True God! I'm not saying we shouldn't capitalize pronouns, but we can actually be *in*formal with God. My preference would be only to capitalize the pronouns referring to God in historical fiction where capitalization was consistent with the time setting (e.g.
That means you’d capitalize the He, Him and His and any other pronouns that specifically relate to God. Continue doing so. God is capitalized when it functions as a name.In this use, God is a proper noun like any other name and does not take a definite or indefinite article. It's a misconception nowadays that "thou" is a formal pronoun because we only ever use it in prayer anymore.
There seems to be at least four reasons why not. He's our heavenly Father, and just like we can be informal with our earthly families, so too can we with God.

Capitalizing pronouns that refer to God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is a way of honoring God and showing esteem. Christians are supposed to follow what God wants them to do. To summarize the proper noun/common noun usage, I think the easiest way to handle the situation is to capitalize the word god when it is used as a proper name as the name of the god of a monotheistic religion, such as the god of Christianity or Judaism, and not capitalize it when it is used as a common noun:.
Others will capitalize pronouns that refer to the God of the Christian faith, but not to gods of other religions (this is the “I don’t capitalize pronouns referring to deities I don’t worship” approach).
