He doesn't. He's giving us the chance to get closer to him and understand him through prayer and all that stuff. He doesn't need our affection or attention.

Kardashians don't need our attention either, but they still want it. So that's not the opposite of God, who also doesn't need attention but quite obviously craves it as well.

But he doesn't crave our attention, nor want it. And the Kardashians both crave and need it.

Only an idiot like Surtur would compare the Kardashians to God Himself. What a fool he is. Hope he likes fire.

I don't understand. Are u replying to what I said about Surtur stupidly comparing the Kardashians to an omnipotent and omniscient being? Yeah, your quote above is correct in that it's a commandment of God but don't see what that has to do with the spoiled Kardashians.

Obviously people need worship, but actually the reason to worship God in particular should be clear for you of all people
Through worship of God, we learn to love all things he created, for loving God means that you see him on everyone and everything. But we don't make those people and those things our rulers, we don't become dependant to them, because we know they need God to fully be something.
Judaism and Christianity claim that the biblical God is perfect. Therefore he cannot "gain" anything from any source, especially from the flawed, "sinful" creatures from whom he so illogically demands worship. But he does demand it, at the cost of the destruction of willful non-worshipers.
YHVH was perceived as a Middle Eastern monarch-tyrant, who demanded worship, obedience, and sacrifice. He was based on the Middle Eastern model of the king - a terrible model, because just like human kings, YHVH's mercy is only occasional, and his "justice" savage, grotesque, and inconsistently applied.
Just because you think his mercy was only occasional and his justice was savage doesn't make it so. But keep applying your human principles to a God.

Oh yes, you're most definitely the master of your fate.
