Has the Love Goddess turned into a Damsel in Distress? Has the Messianic Archetype fallen victim to a mob that hates unbigoted goodness? Is the pantheon dying because people have forgotten that Gods Need Prayer Badly? Or has it even come to pass that God is Dead, and now needs resurrection badly? In either case, dear hero, it's time for you to Jump At The Call and save your deity! Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })And yes, failed rescue attempts do count as examples. However, fighting alongside the deity to save the world does not. The deity has to personally be in need of rescue, or at least be perceived as such. Examples |

In Darkstone, this is part of the backstory. Draak, a monk who served the goddess Kaliba, turned against her and tried to destroy her; his brother monks managed to defeat him using a mystical artifact called the Time Orb, but he wasn't destroyed and they've long suspected he would come back to try again. In the game itself, there's a minor god who is in danger of Cessation of Existence because Gods Need Prayer Badly, and the player character(s) must save him by finding him a new worshiper. |

In Fiona Patton's Tales of the Branion Realm novel The Granite Shield, a historical fantasy set in an alternate Britain, the monarchs are the hereditary avatars of a fire god, the Living Flame, and the head of its religion, the Triarchy. For the past hundred years, however, the royal family has converted to a competing religion, denied their own divinity, and literally imprisoned the Flame within their own bodies. Until a Triarch woman gets the bright idea to seduce the monarch, have his firstborn child, and raise it to overthrow its father and return the Flame to prominence. In another book, it's totally inverted: the new Vessel of the Living Flame is a small child on the run from her own priests, and being protected by a follower of the opposing God. |

The Legend of Zelda: Invoked and downplayed in Skyward Sword; Hylia's plan to stop the Demon King revolves around Link believing that her own mortal reincarnation is in danger to motivate him to undertake the necessary trials. Toward the end, the trope is played far straighter when Demise succeeds in consuming Zelda/Hylia's soul. It's explicitly stated that defeating him, and quickly, is the only way for Link to keep her from being utterly destroyed. While not explicitly revered as a deity, the dragon Naydra, a powerful, immortal being, is corrupted by Ganon's Malice in Breath of the Wild and needs Link's help to purge it. |

This is the ultimate goal of Mysto Majora Kijadhimov in White Dark Life, who seeks to revive Slavic paganism — the problem is that she believes that she has to completely eradicate Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in order to succeed, as she fears that they will just treat her faith like an Illegal Religion all over again unless they are dealt with. | |

Discussed in The Bible: Peter grabs a sword to save Jesus from the roman soldiers, but Jesus stops him and recommend pacifism. At some point, Jesus also states that he could easily save himself, or summon a legion of angels to his aid, if he wanted to. This would would go against the entire point though. | |

A trilogy of novels set in Scarred Lands are about a priest who tries and finally succeeds to resurrect the dead god he used to worship until the Divine War This is actually played interestingly. In the Scarred Lands, priests gain their magic powers from their deities. Because their god died, his priests can only access the most basic of spells. After he's resurrected, the main character still can't cast spells, despite being his former high priest. The consequence of bringing his god back to life means he can no longer truly have faith in him, because he's now aware of his own mortality, and can't see him as an infallible being. | |

Jesus Christ Superstar: Fails miserably in the 1973 version: Peter and the others try to save Jesus, but are overwhelmed by the Romans — Jesus' surrender clearly saves them from getting slaughtered.

The "Blink Of An Eye" episode of Star Trek: Voyager takes place on a planet where the people are living in the stone age when Lightbringer, Groundshaker arrive. This deity inspire them to much greatness, but also cause them much harm. Over the ages that follow, they develop their culture and technology in their quest for their deity - Eventually realizing that she is stuck in the sky. Eventually they work together with the crew of USS Voyager to save her. And yes - "Lightbringer, Groundshaker" is Voyager: Time itself passes differently on the planet. This episode is a rare case of a pre-warp civilization being portrayed as justified in their religious belief in humans/Starfleet. | |
