how do you worship God?
how do you worship God?
Perhaps a better question is "Do you worship God" then go on from there to ask "Which God".
Then and only then should you ask "How"
Then and only then should you ask "How"
I worship God through submission and prayer.
I am a Muslim and worship the God of the Jews/Christians/Muslims.
I am a Muslim and worship the God of the Jews/Christians/Muslims.
I am a Christian, I worship God AND Jesus through prayer, song, dance, pretty much anything... And celebrate the Eucharist each Sunday at Church.
I think he figured that only people who worship God would look at this thread, or have something to contribute.

By my life. It's not perfect, but it's all that I have.
Every day I chose to read and pray in the morning before I go to work. That keeps me going through out the day. I don't expect myself to be perfect but I strive for it daily.
with my heart

I must unfortunately disagree with you with God being the same for the Muslim and for the Jew or Christian.
Muslims are strict monotheists correct? A Christian, though monotheistic, understands completely that God is actually three Persons, in One substance. This mystery as far as I understand it is completely foreign and offensive to a Muslim. Jesus was nothing more than a prophet, and can in no wise be "God".
Since our definition of God includes the Person of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, does a Muslim really worship the same god of as a Christian? I would guess no. A Christian worships Jesus as GOD and LORD. He is a Person of the Trinity (God in three Persons, yet One substance) and is worshiped with the Father and the Holy Spirit. I'm pretty sure it is nothing more than a nice ecumenical, "were all worshiping the same God" ploy.
So please correct me if I'm wrong, but Christians worship the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Muslims do not worship "this" aforementioned god.
christians worship whoever the hell they want.
i worship god and god's creation. oops, i am god's creation too. damn right i worship myself. we are all one with jesus. he is our brother. god is our father. wonderful analogy.
how do you expect to understand god through interpretation of human texts? the seventh-dimensional god is much greater than this third-dimensional physical realm.
back to christianity. i love christ. a true prophet. love and compassion. but he was human. why would god manifest godself in human form? god can't because god is much greater than that. jesus was very in tune with god. "one with" but then again we are all god. god is the greatest thing ever. so if god is the greatest and most maximum transcendant being, the beginning and the end alpha and omega, we must be part of him, since we are here in-between.
so to become a greater unity within god we must act as a united human race. not a united states. not united nations. we must become a united planet. we must face the fact that there is something greater and we must see beyond our three-dimensional "proof" because it is not helping us to understand god.
so how am i worshipping god right now? planetary service. unity in humanity. understanding, compassion, meditation, prayer, enlightenment, wisdom, spirituality, service, knowing that there is more and striving to find it with the help of my brothers and sisters with christ who knows god's way with mohammed who knows god's word with the buddha who knows god's mind... all human, all one with god ... and we can be too.

They have the same God. YHWH is worshipped by Muslims, Christians, Jews.

Muslims worship YHWH, God the Father in your terms. We worship the same God. God the father is the main guy you are trying to worship. By worshipping Jesus, you understand that you are worshipping God.
may God bless you.
Just to answer the original question:
I worship him, as well as the Goddess, and the universe with my heart. I don't worship through prayer, as that seems wrong to me. How can you pray, and honor someone at the same time?
do worship, on the other hand, by music and art. And by sermonies, which fit in the moment.

I guess to that you could add... "Why" do you worship God?
I worship the divine in us all, as well as in the world around us. I see the divine in many individual aspects, all of which work together to enlighten the world.
I venerate the Goddesses Briget and Cerridwen. (The goddess bridget, the same as the Saint Briget, is the Goddess of Smithcraft, Bardcraft, and Healing. Cerridwen is the Goddess of Knowledge.) These two goddesses grant me guidence, knowledge, and insight into myself, the world, and their motives.

The question "Which God" appears senseless to me, as different religions are for me different ways of praising the same God.
There are even some people that worship the God not even knowing it, as long as they have a high aim in their lifes and dedicate their whole life to achieve it.
The answers to the question 'how' are as many, as many there are people in the world. There are big religious institutions that are to help you praising the God, very varied within even catholic church, not mentioning other churches and other religions. But what matter the most is your personal attitude and your personal contact with Him.
And why? Because at some moment we realise that we are a part of something bigger and more powerful than us. And that the life is worth living and dying for Something. And we realise that there exists something like true Love.
At least those, who has personally experienced Him. Like me.

In the Qur'an we read, 'Say, 'O people of the book' (a term which
particularly refers to Jews and Christians) 'come to common terms as
between us and you: that we worship none but Allah; that we associate
no partners with Him (in His powers and divine attributes); that we erect
not from among ourselves lords and patrons other than Allah.' If then
they turn back say you 'Bear witness that we are Muslims.' (Bowing) to
the will of God." (al-i-Imran;3:64)
