Ask In My Name

"Jesus said to his disciples: 'Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you as the Father in my name he will give you. Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.'" (Jn 16:23). Strong, consoling, challenging words that make us wonder when we ask and don't receive (immediately) if we have really prayed with the faith that God will answer, or that what we have asked for is silly or selfish. Yet, the words of Jesus stand...ask in his name....wait for God's answer, not ours.
