I think the Asgardians don’t worship a higher power --- as the popular belief system on the realm , I mean , given that Ásgarðr does consist of a multitude of faiths . they believe that Odin , Vili and Vé created the physical space they all inhabit , but even they are at the mercy of forces beyond anyone’s control : fate , death , time , space . aspects no living thing can’t fully comprehend , things that exist beyond the material .
and the nornir are perhaps the most powerful beings in that sense , because they can tap into those planes of the world and visualise them : again , not control them , but understand them better than most . the nornir can see what’s yet to come , can visualise time as it actually exists , and understand the process of life and death . that’s why the Asgardians consider the nornir the highest power there is in the nine realms , a strength almighty yet still dominated by the same forces as all other living things .
and the only thing Asgardians can do to gain clarity over these defining forces is to seek guidance ---------------- through regular councils with the nornir , or through meditation , through deep spiritual reflection , which most including Thor , find time to do at least once a day .
