John 14:13-14

We should ask God to do great things,through us.The power we have gets its start in prayer. These statements from Jesus couldn't be stated any more clearly. One thing to make sure of is the phrase "In Jesus name" isn't a magic tag we put at the end of our prayers. Its not a supernatural command that makes God work for us. To pray "in my name" means to pray for what Jesus would if He was saying the prayer.
