Mk 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Mt 21:22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.
Lk 11:9-10 So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Jn 14:13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Here’s my answer to your request for examples how your prayer and petition theory is ridiculous:
Your pathetic attempt at dodging these verses with, “You don’t understand what prayer and petition is” is actually pointless and not too intelligent. You contradict your lord and savior’s words. If you read your lord’s words your little argument falls apart. Your petition theory, is actually called prayer, according to jesus. “Whatever you ask in prayer”, “You will receive what you ask for in prayer”, “Ask and it will be given to you”, and “I will do whatever you ask in my name” are quotes that may help with your dilemma to understand my reasoning. So, a petition directed towards jesus, is a prayer according to your lord, are you going to argue with him? Why would jesus use the words ASK, when referring to prayer? I actually think it’s you who doesn’t understand what a prayer and what a petition is.
The word doesn’t matter anyways, what matters is the message. Whatever you ask for in my name will be given to you. Whatever petition/prayer you have, will be answered, according to these brilliant writers. This clearly isn’t true, so why don’t you man up, and be an honest person and say, “Yeah, you’re right, it’s right there in front of my face. I can’t deny my lord’s words. Whatever someone asks for, can’t be given to them. Jesus wasn’t telling the truth.”

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
