To work divine magic, you hold yourself open so it flows through you. It is something you request not something you do or direct, which means people can potentially access much more power than they have personally. How much you get typically depends on how close your relationship with your higher power is.
To work mystical magic, or most superpowers, you have to direct it, a little or a lot depending on your abilities and the project. You may be limited to your own energy or able to draw from an outside source, but you have to do something with it, which is more akin to gripping a tool or shaping the energy by hand.
