John 16:22–24

²²So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.

²³In that day you will no longer ask Me anything. Truly, truly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you. ²⁴Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
