Hi Sarah,I have stood on Mattthew 6 for years, it is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible.It reminds us, that we need not worry, because God is happy to provide for our necessities - if we put him first, instead of chasing after worldly things.It also teaches us how to pray, to not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words Instead to simply ask God for forgiveness, protection, daily bread, etc., with the Lord's prayer as a wonderful example.It certainly implies we don't have to go into every little detail about our needs, but it's not a prohibition against asking for anything but guidance. That's taking it to an extreme that contradicts many clear verses. It's simply a rebuke to greed and faithlessness, plus a practical instruction in how to relate to God.I'm sorry if we can't agree on this, but that's the way I see it.Be Blessed,Ken
