In the Forgotten Realms, as mentioned above, worship brings power. Now, many gods existed before they were worshiped, and the worship=power mandate didn't come into play until the Time of Troubles. Most Faerunians are also polytheistic, so they will worship a number of deities throughout their lifetime (clergy, paladins, and such of course have a defined patron), though they will usually end up leaning (and thus praying) to one deity above the others. Because of this, I would imagine that the deities receive the most power from active worship. By this I mean, defined followers who have that deity as their patron. But prayers and such from anyone would at least maybe provide a little trickle (which could turn into something big with enough people doing it). They're not omniscient, but prays, speaking the deities name and such, do draw attention.</blockquote>
