In actual fact, Christians today worship so many things aside from God unconsciously such as phones, money, cloth based on the ultimate priority the gave to those things without even realising it. Worship should be something we render sacredly to one true personality which is the Almighty God the creator of heavens and the earth.
Worshipping does not necessarily means to sing alone, you can worship God through referencing his name, saying sweet things to Him, eulogizing, praying with humility
who or what are we to worship?
Isaiah 13:4, Psalm 48:1-14, Matthew 4:10. The Almighty God is awesome in power and he his able to do exceedingly above all that we could ask for. God can do all things but the only things he can't to is to worship himself. Therefore, the primary aim of human Creation by God is for us to have dominion and to fellowship with him in terms of worship. The Bible point it out God himself inhabit the praises and Worship of his people.
Countless number of religious act practice the word worship , its should noted that the only true God worthy of all our worship is the one True Almighty God

Christians nowadays as restrict worshipping God to inside the church alone, ones they are out side the four wall of the building, they felt there worship is not accepted. Let it be known that the best place to worship God is in our heart
what do we need to worship God
Keys things needed in order for our worship to be accepted are as follows
Our heart:- from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, like I said earlier the best place to worship God should be in your heart, let your heart be connected. Your voice, skills, money does not makes your worship acceptable, your heart does. The degree to which your heart is connected to him (God) in the place of worship results to it being accepted.
Our total concentration:- it baffles me when I see Christians while in the place of Worship still have the time to either press phones, charge there phones and do all sort things. Before your heart can be connected to receive from God while worshipping, you 100% attention should be devoted. **Attention divided is blessings denied. **
Our body, soul and spirit:- man is made up of body soul and spirit. It is possible for someone's physical body to be in the place of worship and his spirit is somewhere else. Let your spirit be connected with flow of worship. John 4:24
