Answer
If you are a Christian you do not ask John the Baptist for anything, since he was only a man serving God. Prayers are to be directed to almighty God alone, all else is regarded by The Bible as idolatry.
Answer
You can pray to John the Baptist, or any other saint, for any reasonable intention you might have and ask them to join with you in your prayers to Our Heavenly Father. It is no different than asking a friend, class or your local parish to pray to God for your intentions. When you do so, you are actually 'praying' to them, also. We on earth are spiritually united in the Communion of Saints - the Mystical Body of Christ. That includes the saints in heaven, the souls in Purgatory as well as those on earth in a state of grace.
Saints are our intercessors in heaven and know how to pray much better than we here on earth. When you are called into court for some reason, you would not think of going without an intercessor - a lawyer - who knows the law and how to approach the court and plea on your behalf. Similarly, we should take advantage of our 'lawyers' in heaven who can plea (pray) for our intentions to God. As the old saying goes, 'He who represents himself in court has a fool for a lawyer."
