Understand the concept, "Who is God" and it would become simpler to understand God Almighty in its entirety.
God Almighty... a cluster of pure energy is but the sum total of all souls (atmans) in the cosmos at a given point of time. The essence of every soul (atman) being the same as God Almighty... every soul is but a minuscule God in its entity.
The moment the big bang occurs... all souls (atmans) existing in the Cosmos spread all over the cosmos with unimaginable speeds. The magnitude and the scale of the big bang are beyond the comprehension of the human beings to visualize. Nothing that exists in the cosmos in energy form can be visualized by the help of the senses and the mind.
This explosion of the big bang results in creation of a new cosmos... a new beginning! After billions of years when some planets become suitable for giving birth to life... the souls start manifesting body after another. And a planet like Mother Earth is born.
Now... what is this big bang theory! The big bang occurs in what! As has been defined above... the definition of God is, "the sum total of all purified souls atmans in the cosmos at a given point of time is what we know as God Almighty".
This cluster of pure energy we know as God accumulates in its absolute pure state only when the dissolution of the Cosmos occurs in its entirety. It is as if a huge cauldron of fire... a massive black hole has reduced the whole of the Cosmos to the size of half a thumb. It is this stage when every single soul atman in the Cosmos in whatever stage of life it may be liberates after gaining enlightenment and salvation. There is just no escape for the collapse of the whole of Cosmos has occurred.
As has been expressed by Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism that souls atmans in whatever stage of life they may be... continue their journey into the next Cosmos exactly from the point where they stood in the earlier manifestation is totally wrong. This is where the teachings of Jainism are flawed.
Bhagavad Gita... the sacred doctrine of Lord Krishna distinctly clarifies this point. And it is logical that when the collapse of the entire cosmos occurs... the question of souls remaining in their position as such and transitioning into the next Cosmos after the big bang occurs is but a flawed parable that defies all reasoning and logic.
The point of difference where Mahavira went wrong in understanding the teachings of Bhagavad Gita! The reason why Jainism branched into a new thinking pattern as advocated and doctored by Bhagwan Mahavira (the 24th and last Tirthankara of Jainism) is evidenced here.
This cluster of pure energy... the sum total of all purified atmans in the Cosmos equals half the size of a thumb as has been clearly spelt out in the Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred doctrine put forward by Lord Krishna in the battlefield of Mahabharata.
Unable to contain itself for long... this enormous source of pure energy explodes with a big bang giving birth to a new cosmos... a new journey! God Almighty is the source and the cause of the big bang. This theory of creationism is unpalatable by Scientists all over the world. Why? Science demands proofs and in the kingdom of God... it is absolute faith (in the system of God) that rules. More on who is god here- http://www.godrealized.org/god/who_is_god.html

I think it is important for people to worship God, for people to recognize the vast difference between God and humans.
It also helps societies to form ideals.
It also helps celebrate the magnificence of God's gifts and creations.
It also is a form of meditation, where one can quiet the mind, and receive the answers or guidance they need from that information they already have.
Namaste.

God desires that we praise and worship Him so that we will have a relationship with Him. He desires for all of us to have a relationship with Him. So, yes, I think that He wants to be worshipped.

God needs nothing from us to be God or to be more happy for He is complete in Himself, but He does demand that we come to a relationship with Him as our Creator and share in His loving plan of salvation, and we can give thanks and praise to Him by our worship.

My Deities don't care whether I worship them or not.
The worship is for ME, not for them. And it's celebratory worship.
I have found that when I am full of thankfulness, when I am full of appreciation, when I am full of wonder and awe, I don't have room for pettiness.
So *I* need to put myself into that sacred space, that sacred state of mind, that consciousness of the wonder of life in all it's variety.
I need it as a reminder; I need it as a source of connection, I need it to sacralize the "ordinary" in life.

If God is omnipotent, why would he need you to pray? positive reinforcement? God wants you to be the "best" person you can be, whether you call him Jesus of Yahweh is irrelevant

Yes He wants to be loved because He loves all of us. And He deserves it the most.
