'Ask' in the Bible

and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I don't say that he should make a request concerning this.
