It sounds like your still using the rookie ship/rookie modules. The Rookie ship is only good for the tutorial missions, after that its fairly useless except for maybe making a cargo run. Upgrade to a frigate or destroyer as well as better weapons, that will solve your problem.
Actually I'm using a Condor with dual foxfire rockets and a 75mm gatling rail 1 with uranium ammo...

I just tried the mission again and the swarm of EoM fiends took out my shields in under 8 seconds... the accelerator put me right in the middle of them and I lost most of my armor before I managed to warp out :(

While this is excellent advice, it doesn't do much good to someone who is just starting and doesn't have any method to gauge the amount of ISK/LP he's getting.
The best thing to do is to read the mission description and see what enemies are listed (if any). Sometimes you just get "Deadspace Mission" or some such and don't know what to expect beyond the faction involved. But this is where Kumu's link comes in handy, or several other sites.
Using the Interweb you can find all sorts of information about what you'll face, and how to prepare for them. For the hardcore out there, you can also review your logs of what happened to you after you lost your ship, if you don't want to metagame with external sites (not a good idea with a game as vast and complex as Eve).
But to know the details of the mission, wouldn't I have to ask them for the mission first? If I do that and it turns out to be too hard, how can I decline without losing standing with that corp or agent?

Huzzah, I finally beat Gone Berserk! I had to train frigates to 3 and equip some super long range rail guns and then nickel and dime them from outside their range, but I did it at least. Now I am stuck with an even harder mission: Worlds Collide, where all the enemies are of "serious" threat level... :( You would think there would be a more gradual progression in the difficulties your agents give you...
