The saying is whatever you ask for in His name you will receive but the problem is no one truly asks in His name because they do not know that to ask in His name is to find the truth. It is not to Ask for personal things.
Remember He said that God would provide for the believer. Believe is to serve, in spirit and in truth.
"Ask and you shall receive, knock and the door will open, seek and you shall find."
I don't believe any prayer matters at this point as a way to feel more at peace. God and his worshipers only believe that everything that is spirit and immaterial is good no matter what, and everything material that God himself created is EVIL no matter what. If people want to discuss that with Christians, it's sadly not a controversy for them. They are all programmed in some extent to believe that very doctrine. That's also why I believe God doesn't give anything personal no matter how angry and bitter one person is because he doesn't "have" something. HE doesn't seem to care about the human race in the here-and-now at all.
Anybody who only believes otherwise is ignorant and apathetic/callous.
A name is what one wants to be called by. What one responds to.
G-d made a big deal out of names. Do a study on all the names of people, places and things in the bible. He also had Adam name the animals. Find out why. Peace
Name denotes the nature of a thing, look at all the names in the Book, to prove this. So then, it becomes not the ritual almost it has been turned into of asking in Jesus's name, but rather of asking in His NATURE. WORLD of difference, both in meaning, and in applicability to what is asked for. Peace

Lol. Not by a long shot. Why are you listening to all of these crazy people with crazy ideas about God, anyway? No wonder you're angry. If I believed what you wrote above was true, I'd be angry too.
ghostee...... have you ever tried meditation? It might help you. It helps to drown out the cacophony and kind of clears your slate a little giving way for new thoughts, ideas and ponderings to enter in.
just a thought,
take care,
