This is one of those things that bothers me. It says ask in my name and it shall be done for you. But that is not how that is literally. How do we explain this difference from the exact words and it does not actually mean pray for anything in Jesus name and it will be done for you? I know it has to align with God’s Will, can’t be evil and lead to sin, ie gluttony, greed, pride etc., but the words say what they say, so how do you address this?
