Now you're falling out of your role: Asking the deity for something everyone knows certainly is more devout.
Also, in your prayers to your deity you never use tact. If your chief priest has set you back, you'll keep silent about it in public, but in prayer...
Divination is not, and has never been, a tool of inquisition. That's what the nifty Lhankor Mhy spells are for. Divination is the ritual to tell your deity what is going on, and a humble question if the deity has an opinion on this.
