Lets look at the word worship .
1.W-Willingly
2nd Cor.8 7Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
2ndCor.8: 12For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
2.O-Orderly
1st Cor. 14: 40Let all things be done decently and in order.

Hebrews 12: 28Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
4.S- Sincere
Phil. 1: 10That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.
5.H- Humble
1st Peter 5: 5Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

6.I- Individual
