It's important to note -- i've never read anywhere that suggests we will be worshipped. Our glory is the Fathers glory after all. I've got my own theories.. but they have no place here.

These ideas are incomprehensible to some, but they are simple. It is the first principle of the gospel to know for a certainty the character of God, and to know that we may converse with Him as one man converses with another, and that He was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ Himself did; and I will show it from the Bible.

Blessings of Exaltation

Our Heavenly Father is perfect. However, he is not jealous of his wisdom and perfection. He glories in the fact that it is possible for his children to become like him. He has said, “This is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39).

Those who receive exaltation in the celestial kingdom through faith in Jesus Christ will receive special blessings. The Lord has promised, “All things are theirs” (D&C 76:59). These are some of the blessings given to exalted people:

*

1. They will live eternally in the presence of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ (see D&C 76).
*

2. They will become gods.
*

3. They will have their righteous family members with them and will be able to have spirit children also. These spirit children will have the same relationship to them as we do to our Heavenly Father. They will be an eternal family.
*

4. They will receive a fulness of joy.
*

5. They will have everything that our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have—all power, glory, dominion, and knowledge. President Joseph Fielding Smith wrote: “The Father has promised through the Son that all that he has shall be given to those who are obedient to his commandments. They shall increase in knowledge, wisdom, and power, going from grace to grace, until the fulness of the perfect day shall burst upon them” (Doctrines of Salvation, 2:36).

After a period, there would be a resurrection or a reunion of the body and the spirit, which would render us immortal and make possible our further climb toward perfection and godhood.

God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens! That is the great secret.

Just a compilation of quotes from the LDS mainpage. To the OP -- continue to pray about it. Possibly talk to the bishop? Good luck.. We all have issues that we don't always feel are true (I think?) .. you aren't alone!
