We were made for it...
This may be random, but I am convinced we were made to worship. At the very core of our nature, we were made to worship. Which is ironic because we're also inclined to sin, it's inherent in our nature. Is that possible, to have a fundamental nature in which we're going to sin, but at the same time that we are meant to worship.
I am convinced of this from my own experience and what I see in others for a couple of reasons:
1. Worship is a time in which joy becomes much more frequent in quantity and quality.
2. When believers are not worshipping, they desire to do so. They talk about, and long for the next worship service or time to gather to sing to worship.
3. #1 and #2 apply for those that believe. For those who are missing out at the moment, worship also fills their life, but it is often worship of something material, of this world, or not of God. Money, vanity, desire, power, etc.
So if it's a part of us -- worship, shouldn't it be easy to love the Lord with all that we have?? Ah, but no, we're also inherently sinners, which causes problems...so how do we resolve this or live with this??

Hello there,
I also believe that we are designed to worship. And it's easy to see how sin has twisted that. Like you said, it's cause of our inherently sinful nature that we, as humans, find it so hard to love God with all that we are. I think things are different for the believer, though. When we accept Christ, he transforms us into new creations. He gives us his desires and enables us by his Spirit to live righteous lives. We are dead to sin and alive in Christ. Dead to sin... we can worship God as completely as he calls us to, because he has made us alive in him. And I think this applies to all areas of the Christian walk: serving, prayer, loving each other, missions, etc...
We can't live it on our own- aren't you glad we don't have to!
