@tabitha This is such a good question…and one that I have puzzled over too.

My advice would be to go over what you want to teach your reader before writing the scene.

For example, in the Wingfeather Saga, Janner feels like the Maker (God) has deserted them as he watches evil destroy his world. At the climax, the Maker doesn’t directly intercede and kill the villain, but He uses people/circumstances to make the final victory. I think the important thing is that Janner learned that God is there, even when He seems silent.

Depending on your theme, it might be appropriate to have God resolve with conflict in different ways. As we see in the Old Testament, He taught his people by direct intervention (parting the Red Sea), but now days He tends to teach us in more subtle ways (answering prayer through people around us).

Hope that helps (and that it made sense😄).
