My most recent fantasy world I gave gods specific blessings they could grant. These blessings where I could manage them reflected the domain of the god. All of the blessings had a pact Limitation so you lost the power if you ever went against the God's teaching. Most could only be used once per day and required a concentrate maneuver for prayer.

If building Sorcery-style powers for 67 gods seems a little over the top I don't blame you, you could select a handful of spells for each of your Gods and allow the devout of your faith to learn them and use them irrespective of Mana level as long as they observe certain strictures of the god, nothing more onerous than a Code of Honor's restrictions.
