What do you want? When I listen for God's answer I don't always like what I hear. LIke, Get a job, quit eating so much, be nicer to your X wife. Stuff like that.

Depends on several things, like who you are asking, what you are asking for, how serious you are about asking, and do you really want God to provide the best, or only to give you what you want. Someone else has already posted the verses in James that refer to asking with wrong motives.
Another verse is 1 John 3:22. Look it up, even if only on http://www.blueletterbible.org This verse will give you some additional insights.

God answers all prayers, sometimes the answer however is "no" or rather, we receive what is best not what we want. You can ask God to take away the suffering of a dying friend, and that person still dies. The suffering was taken away (and perhaps that person is in Heaven which is so much better than being on earth healthy). The person gets mad at God for the death, but the only person who would have truly benefited from the sick person living is the friend (not the sick person).

James 4:3, You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
