Even your fucking jesus didn't put that disclaimer on prayer. Only a filthy apologist would make that excuse.
Some idiot (who pretended that he was around to hear Jesus say this) Wrote:"WHATEVER you ask in my name."
Context, Context, Context.
John 14:
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask[c] anything in My name, I will do it.
Healed anyone recently? Walked on water, ever? No?!?! you know who did? The apstoles did, and they just happened to be the same group of men Christ was speaking to in John 14:12-14 Which would indicate to any resonable person that Christ was giving this uncondition unlimited access to his cloest followers, and not as a general promise to whomever prays 'in Jesus name.'

How? How do you know how much has been answered? Do you write some of it down?
I have a very short list. I do not ask for things in general. I ask for contentment in whatever my lot. When something does come up it's usally answered.
