'Ask' in the Bible

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him.

But let him ask in faith without doubting. For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

You desire and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. You do not have because you do not ask.

You ask and don’t receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your evil desires.
