Rabia of Basra, the great female sufi said it for me:

If I adore You out of fear of Hell, burn me in Hell!
If I adore you out of desire for Paradise,
Lock me out of Paradise.
But if I adore you for Yourself alone,
Do not deny to me Your eternal beauty.”

What do you get out of worshiping god, or a god? what purpose does it serve?
When worshipping god, I think you get not much. But when worshipping God, for sure Heaven is yours:D

Bible tells about worship:

Pure religion [religious worship] and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
James 1:27

What do I get from that? I would say, peace of mind.

I don't have a ritual or a list of prayers

I let Him FEEL this life through me
and in return.....my hands seem to know what to do
