In that day you will not ask me anything. Truly I tell you, anything you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. I understand that many find baby loss, stillbirth and miscarriage difficult to talk about. They’d rather not let their minds go there, almost as if not thinking about it might just stop the worst from happening. Life doesn’t work like that. Rubbish, unfair and unjust things happen. I really hope this book helps people feel more confident in simply talking – and listening. Before I met Elle and Michelle I wrongly assumed that when someone told me they’d lost a baby it meant they didn’t want to talk about it. I was wrong. From now on my response will be, ‘Tell me about them…’ Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son. On that day, you won't ask me for anything. Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, whatever you ask the Father for in my name, he will give it to you. A few months after Elle and Nico lost Teddy, they fell pregnant again but tragically lost that baby at 15 weeks in January 2017. Two weeks later, Elle started her blog, Feathering the Empty Nest. “I thought ‘the universe is being an utter bastard to me and I need somewhere to vent,’” says Elle.On that day you will ask nothing of me. Very truly, I tell you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. My home really saved me and I thought if I could share what I’d learnt it might help one person and that could be wonderful, so that spurred me on to write the blog.” Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? And anything that you will ask in my name I shall do for you, that The Father may be glorified in his Son.” Strong's 5100: Any one, some one, a certain one or thing. An enclitic indefinite pronoun; some or any person or object.

Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards… In that day you will not [need to] ask Me about anything. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name [as My representative], He will give you.

Pulpit Commentary Verse 13. - The great word that follows may hang closely on the "because" of Ver. 12. Whether that be so or not, the power of their hands to perform these greater works is in answer to prayer presented to himself, and their success is nothing less than his own activity. And whatsoever ye ask in my Name, that will I do (see Luther). Here for the first time our Lord uses these words. Frequently ( John 5:43; John 10:25) he had spoken of the Father's Name, and in Matthew 18:20 εἰςτὸἐμὸνὄνομα occurs; but now he suggests a new and vitalizing condition of prayer. Luthardt has suggested that the believer, being "in Christ," prays to the Father, who is also in Christ. But the ἐν is used here in two entirely distinct senses. Others have said, taking "Name" as the compendium of all his perfections, that asking "in his Name" meant in full recognition of his Person and his relation to them and to the Father. The Name of the Son reveals the Father, and by assuming this most excellent Name, and having its fullness of meaning avouched by the Resurrection and Ascension, the Father was truly manifested. Others, again, urge that Christ's "Name" is equivalent to "himself;" and "in my Name" means "in the full consciousness that he is the element in which prayerful activity lives and moves" (Meyer). Surely this passage is the true justification of prayer to Christ himself, as identically one with the Father (see Revelation 7:17). "This thing I will do" is strongly in favor of this interpretation. That the Father may be glorified in the Son. The end of this prayer-offering and the Lord's response is that the Father may be glorified; the Father who has such a Son is thereby glorified in the grateful love of his children, and in the Son himself, who is seen thus to be the link between him and his other children.
