John 14:12-14
12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
NIVHere it is important to note the context. Jesus will do anything we ask in his name, however we must have faith in him and do what he was doing. Are you doing what Christ was doing? Are what you are asking for the glorification to God? John 14:9-11
9Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, `Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
NIV Are you in the Father and is the Father in you? When all these questions you can honestly answer yes to, then you will know when your prayers will be answered and maybe whether the answer should be yes or no.
