Ask to Allah for the outcome. Such as, if you want to get married, ask for what you want as a result of marriage — not for that one specific person you think might be good for you. Because you don’t know which decision holds khair. Ask for happiness, bonding, support, peace, a righteous spouse, respect, trust, etc.
Khair (خَيْر) means goodness, virtue, benefit, or what is better. It is the direct opposite of sharr (evil/harm)
You want wealth. How do you know that having more money will bring you khair? Hence, ask for the outcome of having wealth. You want comfort, you want to help family and others, you want more free time for a noble cause, you want to solve problems.
The below two prayers bring khair and the very best outcomes.
Guide us to the straight path. The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor—not of those who have incurred Your wrath, nor of those who have gone astray. (1:6-7)
My Lord, indeed I am in need of whatever good You send down to me. (28:24)
