[Boagenes]

In my view any "prayer" is by default a form of "worship", therefore if one is "praying" to anyone or anything then it is worship directed at that anyone or anything.

Unless one prays only to one of the divine persons of the Holy Trinity, one is worshiping an idol, in my view. The fact that the person doing the praying "doesn't consider it worship" is irrelevant. God considers it worship, that's all that matters. If it's not directed toward the Father, Son or Holy Spirit then it is worshiping the "creature" and the "created" and that's idolatry.

[Petronski]

God considers it worship, that's all that matters.

That would be your personal interpretation of Scripture.

[Marysecretary]

Amen.
