The wisdom of the father
EVEN AS HE: IN HIS MINISTRY OF PRAYER
13. There is no place where Christ more fully identifies Himself with us than at the mercy-seat, where He bids us pray in His name, which just means in His very personality, taking the very same place as He Himself and asking all that He is entitled to claim.
Not only so, but He gives us His own Spirit to pray in us, impresses us with His own desires and wishes, and so enables us to pray that it will be His own very prayer. This is the secret of all true prayer, to pray in the Lord Jesus, asking what He would ask and as He would ask it. To such prayer the promise is absolute.
“Whatsoever you will ask the Father in my name I will give it.” “If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you will ask what you will and it will be done unto you.” “Seeing, then, that we have a great High Priest, who is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

I feel the verse is taking wrongly...I think it should say whatever you ask and if it is gods will you will receive...
14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
