Matt. 6:6 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Matt. 6:5      Matt. 6:7

Matthew 6:6

No, when you pray (want to pray) [to commune with God, see verse 5], go [then] into your chamber (your most private room; your treasure chamber), close your door, and then pray to your Father who is in secret. Then your Father, who sees [he who is always watchful of what is and what happens] in secret (Gk. krypto), will [openly] reward (compensate) you.
[The Greek word proseuchomai describes prayer as worship, devotion, and intimacy with God, see verses 5, 6, 7, and 9. Here Jesus speaks specifically about individual prayer and the attitude of the heart, but that does not exclude communal prayer, see Matt. 14:19; 15:36; Acts 1:24; 3:1; 4:24–30. Usually, people prayed in the upper room or on the roof, see Acts 1:13; 10:9. Here, a special word is used for chamber, Gk. tameion. It describes an inner room where the most valuable possessions were kept, see Luke 12:3, 24. The word is related to the verb temno, which literally means "to divide/distribute" and could be interpreted as goods and assets being divided and distributed from a storehouse. Jesus suggests that heavenly treasures and riches are conveyed to the supplicant in prayer.]
