Yes but God gives the gift of faith without us asking. If we are saved by our faith then faith is not a gift that is given to us.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:8
Did Paul ask for faith? Paul had no choice. Acts 9:1-4
9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
"... but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?" Romans 8:24
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 1 Cor 12:4
~~~~~~
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 1 Cor 12:9
