Default Bout to lose it

I know there are plenty of threads about this issue but I can't ever find a fix. I go to start my truck all I hear is single click coming from the relay. I can jump the starter and she starts right up. I'll drive it for a while afterwards and gut her down. It's a hit and a miss if she will start back up when I return to leave from where ever I go. I'm sick of the dirty shirts haha. I was jw if there is a fix before I go replacing the whole damn setup. And find out it was a bad ground or something simple.

ground cable

starter
starter relay
