Completely out of context (since I've not seen the show) but sometimes people who were taken to church as children and then subsequently lapsed might, at some point in their life, go inside a church at a time of stress thinking that it will give them something. (It generally doesn't, of course.)

I don't watch this show, but in general that's a good explanation for this kind of thing.

I have watched the show, and I'm 100% atheist, but the scene felt completely natural to me for this reason.

It always seemed like Grace was sort of...Nominally Mainstream Protestant, but that it wasn't a focus of her time or emotional energy, so I can see why OP thought it came out of left field. But the circumstances for her suddenly tuning in to that background lip service religiousity were actually pretty unique.

During the divorce, and during the stress of Frankie maybe leaving, there's no issue of what Grace should do, or Grace having to make a huge morally/emotionally difficult decision - she's just dealing with the fallout of other people's decisions, and with the divorce in particular, she has other support, from her children to her friends to (despite their initial hostility) Frankie.

But with the boyfriend thing, she's ashamed that she's interested in a married man, of course she doesn't want to talk about it with her kids, and she's already uncomfortable with Frankie's degree of interference. So in a moment of extremis she tries to hash out her quandry with God. And then the moment passes.

I think it's SUPPOSED to stand out as unlike Grace - Grace is normally totally emotionally repressed! She doesn't have a lot of tools to deal with this. The uncharacteristic turn shows the audience just how much this messing with her, and in that way I think it was really effective.
