When people begin prayers with “hey God” or “it’s me God”, or “what’s up bro” (haha) or anything like that. RESPECT people, respect. He’s not your best bud, He’s your CREATOR and your KING. He is so much HIGHER. He at least deserves the respect of being approached with reverence.
This wouldn’t fit in a reply.
He may be our Creator & King, but he’s also our friend. We’re called to be in a relationship with Him, and relationship means conversation. I personally alternate, but most of the time I say ‘hey God’ or just ‘God,’ because I think it’s not just about what you say, but how you’re saying it. It’s about your heart. If I go to God and say ‘hey God, You are beyond words. I can’t even think of words to describe how grateful I am that You love me so much’ I still think I’m being respectful and revering Him.

I agree, kind of a lot actually, but I still feel like any prayer is good prayer, and it helps people realize that they really can pray about anything. We should be intimidated by God in a lot of ways, but not so much that we can’t talk to him.
