This assurance of answered prayer is not a blanket promise for any request, but is tied to the believer's relationship with Christ and alignment with His purposes, just as Jesus' teachings and miraculous actions were always in accordance with God's will and plan, as well as Jesus' submission to God's will regarding His sacrificial death (Matthew 26:36-44).

Jesus' words here are also a continuation of the theme of divine provision found in passages such as Matthew 7:7-11, where Jesus encouraged His followers to ask, seek, and knock with the faithful expectation of a response in accordance with a loving Father's will.

John 15:7: If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

The Son of God the Father, as John the Baptist was led to bear witness to the true Light, is our Lord Jesus, who came into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him. As many who received Him, He gave them the power to become the sons of God. (John 1:5,10,12) Heavenly Father sent His Holy Spirit in the bodily shape like a dove upon Lord Jesus when He came to John to be baptized. The Father said, “Thou art my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Lord Jesus was then led by the Spirit into the wilderness and tempted by the devil for forty days. Lord Jesus then returned by the power of the Spirit into Galilee and revealed the Word of God in the synagogues and was glorified by all. (Nub 4:3/Luke 3:21-22/4:1,14-15) The one who abides with the words of wisdom given to one who reads the Scriptures and understands that this wisdom comes from the Lord God shall not be cast away. He is then drawn by God the Father to His Son our Lord Jesus in the right Spirit, that leads one for the truth and life, then leading them to the Father. (John 6:37,44/14:6) 

Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, besieged Jerusalem captured the king of Judah, and brought into their land the children of Israel. Among these children were Daniel (Bel-te-shaz’-zar), Hananiah (Sha’-drach), Mishael (Me’-shach), and Azariah (A-bed’-ne-go) who were brought into God’s favor and tender love to them. They were given knowledge, skill in learning, and wisdom and Daniel having visions and dreams given to him by God the Father. When the king made an image of gold, he wanted everyone to bow down and worship his image, which they did not do so, and they were bound and cast in a fiery furnace. Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, “Abided in the Word of God,” whom they served and were delivered from a burning fiery furnace, for the Lord the Son of God stood in the midst of them. (Dan 3:1-2,16-17,25)

Darius the Median took over the kingdom of Belshazzar the son of Nebuchadnezzar the king of the Chaldeans and then set Daniel as one of the presidents over the whole realm. (Dan 5:30-31/6:3) Darius had set presidents and princes over the entire kingdom who sought occasion against Daniel. Daniel knew they had set occasion against him who then established a royal statute for whoever asks of a petition of any God or man “save of the King” shall be cast into the den of lions. Daniel knew the writing was signed, so he went into his house, and his windows were opened towards Jerusalem. He kneeled three times a day and prayed, “For the Lord’s Word Abided in Him,” giving thanks to the Lord God as he did before. When they saw Daniel praying, they came and spoke before the king who was then led to cast him in the den of lions. When the king came back to the den he called out to Daniel. Then said Daniel unto the king my God hath sent his angel and shut the Lion's mouth. (Daniel 6:22)

Matthew 24:15: When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso’ readeth, let him understand:)
