All that happens, happens for the best? Maybe. But God does everything right? I no longer think so. Gods do make mistakes, bad choices as humans do. I think now that they are in this with us, living and learning. So you are better off letting things happen on their own, than ask the Gods for something. Could turn out, your wish gets granted, and it's the worst thing that could have happened to you. Neither surrender to God and ask him to make your choices. Could turn out that you could have made a better choice than God himself. Life seems to have shown me that you are better off trying to achieve what you want, and let the law of karma that governs the universe decide if it's good for you, or whether you deserve it.
Pleasing a God and getting something might be the only plausible way out, if you want it that badly in this birth, but I'd say you are better off not asking for such interventions. Even the Gods have no influence over Karmic law. There will be a price to pay, ranging from not feeling what you thought it would feel like after achieving it, to outright losing something you need more in return.
Wish for something, having an aim is not wrong. Moreover wishing it also helps contribute to karmic effort.
Work towards it, but don't ask a God for it!
If you deserve it, you will get it.
What Krishna said about one having influence over only the action and not the fruits of the effort, there is great meaning to it.
He never suggested making Him a God or asking any God for wishes. He did so for our good.
But as is often said, without constant reminding, Good is easily forgotten!
