the definition(s) of gratitude are as follows

1. Appreciative of benefits received; thankful. my idea of "to" which means I'm grateful for the bounty of everything in my life and recognizing it all comes from the 'source'

or

3. Affording pleasure or comfort; agreeable. the idea of *for* being happy for things in my life that may or may not be recognized from stemming from the Universal source

worship on the other hand

noun
1. the activity of worshipping
2. a feeling of profound love and admiration

verb
1. love unquestioningly and uncritically or to excess; venerate as an idol; "Many teenagers idolized the Beatles"
2. show devotion to (a deity); "Many Hindus worship Shiva"
3. attend religious services; "They worship in the traditional manner"

it's not worship to recognize that all things come from the Universal Source and to send thanks

about the only time I come close to 'worship' is when I'm overawed by a sunset or a storm cloud

IMHE anytime I get too attached to some 'thing' in my life, and forget where it came from, it gets taken away. anything that diverts me from my spiritual practice tends to get moved out of my life.
YMMV
