A couple once came to the Kozhnitzer Maggid and asked for a bracha for a child. “I cannot help you,” said the Maggid. Hearing this, the husband put a gold coin on the table and asked again. When the Maggid said that he still cannot help, the husband placed another coin on the table, the Maggid again refused, and this repeated itself several times. Finally, the wife scooped up all the coins, and said to her husband, “This isn’t working. Let’s leave this place. Hashem Himself will help us!” Hearing this, the Maggid’s face began to shine and he smiled and announced, “Now you will be blessed! Until now you believed that only I could help you. Once you remembered that it is Hashem Who can help you, He will truly help you and you will be blessed!”
