Idk, I'd say it's safely in lore that some gods answer prayers in ways that can enhance a loyally devout follower's performance. Especially "good"/pro-altruism gods, like Saradomin. I'm pretty sure it's fine for super religious characters to get small enhancements from prayers/gods - like a burst of strength for a limited period of time or maybe extra endurant for a while something. It's just not okay for a player to be almost completely immune to danger for the whole duration of an encounter. Imagine fighting a guy who dodges almost every hit you throw at him and then the one time you give him an attack he can't logically dodge and a divine force just bounces your weapon right off no problem. That would be hugely lame, and also not the same as if it hit but did slightly stunted damage thanks to hardened skin or something.
