I had one like this in my shop, found it to be the ignition switch, replaced the switch and the problem went away. When it happens try slightly turn the key one direction or the other and see if it starts working.

You need to troubleshoot before replacing parts by guessing. If starter relay is not getting signal when u try to start it, trace it back to loose connection or no signal coming out of ignition switch under steering column.
