I'm a Hindu. The path of Bhaktiyoga (path of devotion that leads to union) actually teaches that we should view ourselves as in a relationship with God. That said, for me God is my friend, companion, and yet also my teacher and guide. (it may surprise you to know that Hinduism includes not only parent, friend, lover, sibling, etc...but also child and even enemy. You could have a relationship in which God is your child. And as far as Hindus are concerned, if God is your enemy, then your mind is still focused on God, you are still consumed by God basically and your mind being so focused on God always allows God a way in).

She is the dawning , she is the day light, she is the darkness. She is the giver of life and the bringer of death. She is the mother of all creation. She is the maiden pure, she is the pregnant mother, she is the wisened Crone. She is teacher and friend. She is ALL
By the way I am a witch. That is my almighty.

He is my guide, my courage, my strength. I respect Him and His choices for me, even though I don't always understand them. I suppose I would think of him as Father, but even more Father than the one I had in human form, because He would be the Father to us both.

It depends on the occasion, in my life. Depending on what sort of mood I'm in, or what I seem to be overlooking, I will vary things among those you mentioned, and also husband/bride.
They are all true to some degree or another, but my two common ones are:
Husband/Bride
Master/Slave.

Father - child relationship
John 1:12
"but as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in his name..."
Romans 8:29
"... that He (Jesus) might become the firstborn of many brethren"
Since Jesus is the Son of God and I am a sister of Jesus than is God also my Father

I'm not sure how much sense this answer will make, because it is MY definition based on MY understanding of Deity and MY relationship with Deity, but here goes ... Simply put ... "I AM a part of, and not apart from." ~ Peace & Blessings ~

He is my Father, I am his daughter. Just that simple. I go to Him to share my successes and failures and to ask for wisdom and guidance. He loves me unconditionally and forgives me always. You can't get any more peaceful and secure than that!
