And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
The disciples feared abandonment when Christ departed, but He clothed them with power sufficient to sustain them. In His name they would do the very works He did: heal the sick, raise the dead, convert sinners. His departure would not stop the work; it would be carried on as vigorously as ever.

Commenting on John 14:12-14
When you ask in My name, you draw on My credit with the Father, much as a man authorized to withdraw from another's account does so in that man's name. God loves you for My sake and sees My image in you; you would have no access to Him otherwise. He will do whatever you ask, because He has given Me all power in heaven and earth.

I do not merely intercede with the Father on your behalf, I Myself will do what you ask in My name. That I promise this directly proves My deity and omnipotence. The whole point is that the Father is glorified; your petitions must aim at His glory in the Son, not at your own designs.
