Matthew 6 closes with reflections on what it means to overcome anxiety by trusting God. Jesus sums up this section and the entire chapter by saying, “Seek first the kingdom of God and everything else will be added unto you.” This is the point of prayer and giving: to help us seek first the kingdom and to learn to trust that everything else will need God will provide. In life we basically have two options, we can try to acquire and hoard away enough power and resources to hopefully help us if something bad comes our way. Or we can live a life of joyful generosity with our compassion and our resources b/c we have learned to trust God to provide for us. If we want a life of joyful generosity, we must learn to follow Jesus’ teachings on prayer and giving.
