Well, when God isnt around, you may find general prayers to "God of Light", "Evil God", or just prayer in general might help.
I find that you can be empowered by a variety of gods if yours is not hanging around (assuming you haven't sent them scrolls, posted emails, etc.). Point in case was my paladin being empowered by Scarabeus (a very unnerving but fun interaction). Learn to explore the alternative approaches....ever pay a bard to write a scroll for your empowerment?
Lots of options to play with. First consider your emotional investment in your character and decide if you want to use your time attempting empowerment. Put the character by the wayside until you see evidence of the god and then revive and seek the god's favor.
All said and done, maybe your god doesn't wish to empower you. They may take the time to tell you, or let you give up.
