A Biblical understanding of worship would clear this up.
Praying to God is a form of worship as we only worship God we also only pray to God.
I think the word is used in a different meaning and context.
What a dumb comment. You pray in the name of the Triune God.
Prayer is what you said; but it is also devotion (worship, giving of your time and attention, setting your affection on things above, slipping the surly bonds of earth, etc. — in addition to asking).
There is a great verse in Ephesians 5 that, following an admonition to be filled with the Spirit, that we should give thanks, always, for all things, “...to God and the Father, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ...” — so, in the one same context, we have the Trinity. In essence, we are praying to the Father; but these things are hard for us to distinguish down here in the flesh, through our little glass-darkly. We know, from this verse and many others, that we can’t pray effectively without the help of the Holy Spirit, and that we are to pray (with a grateful attitude) to the Father in the Name of Jesus.
So it’s all good. What matters is that we devote ourselves to the God of the Bible, best we know how, and that we grow in our fluency with Him as we journey down here.
That’s what I think, anyway; and I think I have the Spirit on this.
Completely false...And of course that's what THEY teach you...
Pray thee or pray you is to ask...Pray or praying to or prayer is worship...
