Sometimes, when in a moment of great need, a character will cry out to God (or what-have-you) for some kind of sign that shows him what to do, where to go, or even just to let the character know that he is not alone. Often, God is perfectly happy to oblige. The sign can be subtle, or it can be much more obvious. (When PlayedForLaughs, the sign is usually downright {{Anvilicious}}!)

-->''"Men are fools, as always," grunted Conan. "If the plague struck all who sinned, then by Crom there wouldn't be enough left to count the living! Why should the gods--who the priests tell me are just--slay five hundred peasants and merchants and nobles before they slew the king, if the whole pestilence were aimed at him? Were the gods smiting blindly, like swordsmen in a fog? By Mitra, if I aimed my strokes no straighter, Aquilonia would have had a new king long ago.''
