Say you're a good guy. You suddenly find the Implacable Man, Eldritch Abomination, or some other terror is in front of you. There's no escape, no possibility of punching it out, no amount of Heroic Willpower is going to save you, and either death or a Fate Worse than Death is certain. Alternatively, say you're a bad guy and maybe the Anti-Hero you pissed off has finally caught up to you on his Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Maybe you're just an unfortunate Mook who turned a corner while walking your patrol in the Supervillain Lair and came face to face with The Hero. Regardless of whichever side of the good/evil axis you find yourself on, you're in a situation where you're completely screwed, there's no way out, and you have only a matter of seconds until some unthinkable horror befalls you. So what do you do? Some say "Oh, Crap!." Some put a curse on their killers. Some have a last bit of bravado or badassery. And some just quietly begin praying (either to a specific deity or any god they can think of), knowing they are far too screwed for anything else to do any possible good. Depending on the character and situation involved, this can overlap with anything from Go Out with a Smile to Obi-Wan Moment to Death Equals Redemption. This trope, astonishingly enough, is not about telling someone to say their prayers. That one would be a form of Prepare to Die. Compare Prayer Is a Last Resort and Emergency Multifaith Prayer. Contrast Reflexive Remark of Reverence. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

In the Ranma ½ manga's Koi Rod arc, when Ranma believes that Ryouga wants her dead she simply clasps her hands and prays as she will accept him killing her if it makes him happy. Of course since it is played for laughs Ryouga finds he can't do it after all. | |

Titanic (1997): A man is heard praying as he scrambles towards the lifeboats. Later, an emergency Mass is given by a priest as the ship starts tilting. Similarly in A Night to Remember, many of the passengers who were left on the Titanic are seen beginning to pray shortly before the ship went down. |

Humorous subversion in The Mummy (1999). When encountering the eponymous Mummy for the first time, Dirty Coward Beni pulls out a cross and begins praying for help quietly. Then when that doesn't do anything he begins pulling out a series of religious symbols and doing the same thing in various languages. This continues until he pulls out a Star of David and begins praying in Hebrew, which brings the Mummy up short because, as an Ancient Egyptian priest, he recognizes it as "The language of the slaves" and decides to make Beni into a servant rather than a victim. | |

Looney Tunes: Aversion: Yosemite Sam would often tell Bugs Bunny "Say your prayers, varmint!", but Bugs generally opted for a different response to Sam's threats. In Homeless Hare, a foreman falls through several floors of the skyscraper he's building, leaving silhouettes of himself on the way down, one of which is clearly kneeling with hands clasped. In Awful Orphan Charlie Dog argues on the phone with the upstairs neighbor, who is annoyed by the noise he's been making with Porky Pig: In My Favorite Duck Daffy has been yanking Porky's chain all through the picture because duck season is closed. When it actually opens, Porky closes in with a rifle and blasts the words "Start Praying, Duck" in Daffy's white flag. In "Operation: Rabbit", Wile E. Coyote states his intentions to eat Bugs, ending with giving him "the customary two minutes to say your prayers." As usual, Bugs snarks at him instead. |

Played for serious emotional torque in Volcano. Knowing that at least one of them is definitely going to die soon, Stan begins to tearfully recite his Hail Marys as he carries an unconscious subway driver through the cars of a train currently melting from lava flow. He makes it to the end of the cars too late to both jump over the lava and still carry the driver, so he jumps into it and uses the last of his strength to hurl the driver to safety, dying a horrific, yet heroic, death in the process. | |

In a first season episode of Vikings, the war band led by Ragnar attacks a Saxon army during the night, and begin massacring the camp, quickly dispatching the few guards who are awake before moving on to the sleeping soldiers. When the army commander finally wakes up and realizes what is happening, rather than attempting to rally his men he begins praying. Once he finally finishes the prayer he attempts to die fighting, but he's promptly incapacitated before he gets the chance. | |

Inverted by Bevier in The Elenium who, upon killing a corrupt guard officer (legally justified as an on-the-spot execution for insubordination), proceeds to lead the man's subordinates in prayers for his soul. Yes, it was a very effective intimidation tactic, but with Bevier being who he is, there's no reason to believe his prayers were insincere. | |

In the X-O Manowar comic, the main character Aric starts out as a Visigoth warrior who hates Rome for slaughtering his family, and, by extension, Christianity. (The Romans having adopted Christianity by then.) In one scene he comes upon a group of Corrupt Priests and their guards tormenting and intent on raping a young girl. Aric surprises and kills the guards then advances on the priests, one of whom simply kneels there and prays in place until Aric decapitates him. | |

In Les Misérables, the rebels face a hopeless situation after repelling the first attack on the barricade. Their supplies are running low, the Parisians have not joined their cause, and they have pretty much resigned themselves to death the next day. Valjean prays not for himself but for Marius, that God will "bring him home". This is echoed in the epilogue when Valjean is on his deathbed, praying that God will go ahead and "bring me home". | |

The Preacher bit that details the Start of Darkness for The Saint of Killers had one of these. After coming Back from the Dead and taking over for The Grim Reaper, The Saint goes to take revenge on the outlaw band that prevented him from bringing medicine to his wife and child. The first member of the group that he encounters was an ex-priest who lost his faith, and the moment that said ex-priest sees the Saint he pisses himself and begins praying with as much fervor as he ever had. | |

A few examples from the Left Behind series: The Christian on board the cruise liner stuck in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with no power leads the crew in a final prayer of salvation just before the Giant Wall of Watery Doom hits it in the Dramatic Audio version of Soul Harvest. A woman in New Babylon who took the Mark of the Beast is left desperately saying prayers to God during the supernatural Big Blackout caused by one of God's Bowl Judgments in Armageddon, despite the fact that she's utterly screwed. Chloe Williams in Armageddon leads an unsaved woman in a prayer of salvation before they both go to the chopping block. Demetrius Demeter and Lukas Miklos' wife in The Mark also lead people in prayers of salvation before their deaths. |

Guiding Light. Honeymooning Super Couple Alan-Michael and Lucy are trapped on a sinking yacht in the midst of a storm.

When Lucy finds him and can't free him, she outright begs God to help them. At that precise moment, a mysterious man appears and is able to free them and get the radio working so they can alert the Coast Guard. Following their rescue, Alan-Michael's father mentions having fervently prayed himself. | |

Happens in the Grand Finale of Poirot ("Curtain"): Hercule Poirot is dying of a heart condition, he has just killed the murderer he could not bring to justice through proof, and he has refused to take the amyl nitrite he needs for his heart condition. According to David Suchet, Poirot feels that he is afraid and "wonder[s] whether God will truly ever forgive him for his deeds, and, as a good Catholic, that thought troubles him deeply. For once in his life, Poirot cannot control the events around him." After an Obi-Wan Moment, as he is bedridden, isolated, and minutes closer towards his death, he prays to God for forgiveness and clasps the rosary in his hands while doing so, resulting in Death Equals Redemption. So heartbreaking. | |

A variant: There was an episode of ER where Kovacs was in the middle of a war zone in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and was just about to be shot by a death squad. He got to his knees and started to pray, and that combined with the cross he was wearing and the testimony of a local woman convinced the shooters that he was a priest and it would be bad luck to kill him. After an infant is left in critical condition after he botches her surgery, Benton hovers over her bed and begins to recite the 23rd Psalm. Sadly, symbolic of his error, he can't remember the words. |

Beverly Hills, 90210. As Kelly and another girl are trapped in the basement of a burning house, the other girl urges her to recite the Lord's Prayer as the flames begin to eat through the door. While she clearly means this as a means of giving themselves the last rites, it's probably no coincidence that at that moment, they hear the sounds of firemen trying to break down the door and get to them. | |

When she arrives for an old Jewish man, Harry, they have a friendly talk until he realizes who she is and that she's come for him. He recites the Shema Yisrael, a prayer that Jews are traditionally supposed to say as their last words before dying. | |
