John 16:23-24
23 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
Jesus told the disciples many things, asking about some things - yet when He left and they received His Spirit, they would know and so ask less. But they could then ask for things that He would do while still walking with them. They could thus pray with confidence to Him, in His name, for God's will to be done as when Jesus was there with them. Joy flows from such prayer, not from selfish asking, but for the glory of God.
