* Krishna seemingly comes out of nowhere to save the day at least three times in the Hindu epic ''Literature/{{Mahabharata}}''. The first instance is when Krishna saves himself as a newborn infant, from the murderous hands of his uncle Kansa. Up until this point, Krishna's parents were imprisoned and every baby they conceived was murdered. But when Krishna is born, the chains binding his father Vasudev suddenly fall off, the dungeon's door opens itself, all the guards fall into a stupor and Vasudev escapes with infant Krishna. A heavy downpour ensures that no guards are around to prevent his escape to a nearby village where Krishna is placed in the care of Nanda and Yashodha till he matures. Vasudev heads back to the prison to ensure that Kansa doesn't get suspicious.
** The second instance is when Draupadi is about to be disrobed in public by Dushasana. When no one in the court can or will intervene, including all the Pandavas [[LostHimInACardGame who've lost their freedom \upon losing the dice game]], Draupadi pleads to Krishna. Krishna manifests and generates an "endless sari" which Dushasana will never be able to completely remove. When Dushasana collapses in exhaustion, Draupadi still has her sari and what's left of her dignity, still on.
** The third instance occurs at the end Day 14 of the Kurukshetra War. Arjuna had vowed to kill Jayadratha by the end of the day to avenge his son Abhimanyu's brutal slaying. With the stipulation that he would self immolate if he failed. Therefore, all Kaurava allies surround Jayadratha and impede Arjuna as much as possible. When sunset is but a moment away, Arjuna finally reaches Jayadratha but all remaining Kauravas cluster around Jayadratha, forcing Arjuna to [[GoThroughMe have to go through them all]]. It appears there is no way Arjuna will defeat all of them before the sun sets. So, Krishna [[GodWasMyCopilot who is Arjuna's charioteer]], generates a thick cloud cover to obscure the sun. This fools Jayadratha and the Kauravas into believing the sun has set. They fling their weapons aside and start mocking Arjuna. Then Krishna clears the clouds, revealing that the sun hasn't set yet. Arjuna immediately fires an arrow that slays Jayadratha.

When no one in the court can or will intervene, including all the Pandavas [[LostHimInACardGame who’ve lost their freedom \upon losing the dice game]], Draupadi pleads to Krishna. Krishna manifests and generates an “endless sari” which Dushasana will never be able to completely remove. When Dushasana collapses in exhaustion, Draupadi still has her sari and what’s left of her dignity, still on.
** The third instance occurs at the end Day 14 of the Kurukshetra War. Arjuna had vowed to kill Jayadratha by the end of the day to avenge his son Abhimanyu’s brutal slaying. With the stipulation that he would self immolate if he failed. Therefore, all Kaurava allies surround Jayadratha and impede Arjuna as much as possible. When sunset is but a moment away, Arjuna finally reaches Jayadratha but all remaining Kauravas cluster around Jayadratha, forcing Arjuna to [[GoThroughMe have to go through them all]]. It appears there is no way Arjuna will defeat all of them before the sun sets. So, Krishna [[GodWasMyCopilot who is Arjuna’s charioteer]], generates a thick cloud cover to obscure the sun. This fools Jayadratha and the Kauravas into believing the sun has set. They fling their weapons aside and start mocking Arjuna. Then Krishna clears the clouds, revealing that the sun hasn’t set yet. Arjuna immediately fires an arrow that slays Jayadratha.

Contrast with GodsHandsAreTied. GodWasMyCopilot is when this trope is not immediately recognizable because the divine character is in disguise.

* ''Film/FreshmanYear'': CJ's father attributes the fact CJ was born without predicted birth defects to an offer he made God that he'd serve as a minister the rest of his life. Later, CJ's baby with Marchella also gets water detected near her brain, though she is later born perfectly healthy as well, implying it happened again.

See also GodIsGood. Likely to overlap with PrayerIsALastResort, and most often the result of an AnswerToPrayers. On the other hand, may overlap with DivinePunishment if the intervention occurs because GodIsDispleased with sinful behavior. If whether there was an intervention is debatable, see MaybeMagicMaybeMundane. Then again, God is well known for working InMysteriousWays.
