Hebrews 1:1

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

So does this mean that we can't ask anyone for a favor? Even ourselves?...because that would be worship? You limit God, we are HIS creations, we are meant to interact. Why would God deign to use an angel or a human to do His bidding when He could do it all Himself if we weren't supposed to interact with His creations? Why do we not live on manna from heaven and instead plant and grow our own crops to eat? Why doesn't He just manufacture babies and drop them on the street corner? It is not JUST me and GOD, it is me and God and all of God's creation!

God gave us a home, earth, filled with all we need to survive, I use that earth for the air I breath, for the gravity that keeps me grounded, for the water that God created me to need, does that mean I worship the earth? Jesus told us to love, as God has loved! So to give honor to anyone is worship? He gave Eve to Adam as a helpmate, he gave us each other to love as he loved and loving God's creation, all of it, is no disservice to God. To love is to worship? I refuse to limit God and I refuse to take your theology as my own. In your hypersensitivity you might think that asking someone to use the power of God to pray for me or to actually do something for me gives them worship. I beg to differ, I refuse to believe your limited theology and I'm willing to rely on the infinite Mercy of God.
