When we read verses like "Ask whatever you will in my Name and I will do it", we tend to think that God is so pleased because of Jesus, that He now wants to answer our every prayer. Well, what should grip our minds more is the fact that the scope of our praying is now limitless. Jesus is not binding Himself to answering all our prayers. The roles have not been reversed. He is still God and we are not. The boundaries have been set back. God is letting us know that the impossible is now possible. The focus is more on the fact that we can now do things that could not have been thought of, in earlier ages. Well, the OT saints did do some mighty things (like stopping the sun for some time) but God wants us to revel in it, to bask in it. No matter how big or how small a petition may be, IT WILL BE DONE if it brings glory to Jesus. Our amazement should not be so much in 'God will answer all my prayers' but in the fact that 'God is not setting the limits any more'. We are living in an age of His fullness.
