Sure City, ask God for what ever you need He already knows your needs, but He desires the intimacy of a a personal relationship with you..Go ahead and start a conversation

I believe you can ask God anything that doesn't go against His will. Just know that His answer can be no, just as well as it can be yes.

Just a couple of months ago, I prayed and asked for a friend similar to me. The very next day, there she was.

You are free to ask God what you like. Whether He responds in the way you want is a different matter.

So to answer your question, sure it's okay to ask God to bring someone back into your life. But that doesn't mean He will.

Caveat lector....

It depends on whether it's God's will to give you what you ask for. Don't misinterpret the verse. We could ask God for a million dollars, or to heal us of a certain disorder - but if He doesn't, would that make Him a liar? No. That's why we need to interpret the Bible properly.
