Is praying to God a form of worship?
Yes, without a doubt. Is praying to men or women who are dead or alive

Who should men worship? Luke 4:7-8
"Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours." 8 And
Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is
written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall
serve."(NKJV)

Praying to God is worship and men are to only worship God.
A Costa Rican woman has told how she
recovered from a brain aneurysm after praying to Blessed Pope John Paul

Praying to any man, dead or alive, is worship and to worship anyone but God is sin.
Through the selfless "yes" of the
Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, our Savior, was brought into the world. It is
appropriate, therefore , that we offer prayers of petition and praise
to the Mother of God.
