Joh 14:13 | MHM | STEP | v. 13 : Jesus promises, “Whatever you ask in my name, that will I do” (John 14:13 ). He teaches His followers how to stay close to Him after His departure—through prayer. They can always talk to Him by praying in faith, asking humbly and dependently rather than demanding. Jesus gives them freedom to ask for anything good for them: help in their work, wisdom, protection, power for miracles, or success in teaching others about God. Whenever they have a need, they can pray and will be welcomed by God. Jesus assures that He will answer prayers that align with God’s will and purpose, so that God will be glorified through the Son’s work. v. 13-14 : Jesus gives another reason why He will answer their prayers: “That the Father may be glorified in the Son” (John 14:13 ). This should be the goal of every prayer—that God would be honored through Jesus. When the disciples perform miracles and succeed in their work, it shows God’s wisdom, power, and goodness. Their success brings glory to God, and Jesus is pleased to answer prayers that honor His Father.
