Hi,
"One student prayed, 'May it be Gd's will that my wife conceive - if the child will live. Otherwise, may it be Gd's will that she not conceive.'
"His friend prayed, 'May it be Gd's will that my wife conceive.'
"The former asked: And would it be good if the child would die? It would be better that he not be born, as it is written (Kings II 27-28), 'Do not disappoint your maid,' 'Didn't I say not to fool me?'
"To which the latter replied: When the child is born, I will pray for it to live."
(R' Yehudah haChasid, Sefer Chasidim 501)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
