Check your mental state.
If you are already being negative toward life, then any life decision you make will relfect that negative attitude.
Ex. If you took a test and bombed it and then bring that into a spiritual decision, it will negatively affect the outcome.
If you have a bad day at work and then you decide that God doesn't exist.
The reverse of that is also true. It's amazing how different things are when your mind is in a positive or a negative state.
The same thing happens when we pray. If you have a horrible day or a horrible month (more on that another time) and you pray for whatever from God then it is likely that your attitude will reflect God's "answer." But if you are in a great mood and you pray for something, that will in turn positively affect God's "answer."
This happens in my life all the time. I will be extremely excited about some dream or idea that I have and the next thing I know is that God somehow gives me immediate permission to alter the course of my life just because I like the idea. Now, this isn't God which is why "answer" is quoted. It is our interpretation of what we want to hear.
The opposite is just as accurate. When you think you are worthless then you will never think that God wants your help. The trick with all of this is to work on being open-minded through prayer for God's response.
