Christians: Does God approve of the use of images as aids to worshipping him?

Habitually bowing down in front of a cross when praying.
Im speaking of what some refer to as 'relative worship'.

Doesn't this passage of scripture rule out relative worship?:

"12 And Jehovah began to speak to YOU out of the middle of the fire. The sound of words was what YOU were hearing, but no form were YOU seeing—nothing but a voice. ...
15 “And YOU must take good care of YOUR souls, because YOU did not see any form on the day of Jehovah’s speaking to YOU in Ho´reb out of the middle of the fire, 16 that YOU may not act ruinously and may not really make for yourselves a carved image, the form of any symbol, the representation of male or female,"
(Deuteronomy 4:12,15,16)
By relative worship, Im referring to bowing down in front of an image in prayer to God; seeing the image as somehow representing God and using it as an aid in approaching God. etc.
