Those PCs that were less than stellar adherents to a given god, should be prevented from gaining a boon from such prayer. It would require some level of honoring their gods throughout consistent play, for some deity boon to be providing a boon to them at all. It looks like too much record keeping to maintain that though. That would be my suggestion.</blockquote>
