ahhh logic, gottra love it. I know you asked Lebell, 4thTimeLucky but i am guilty of huburs (overweanning pride) so i have to throw my two cents in.

to answer your question you first must figure out how you see God or your God view.

Do you see God as a being who is outside of space and time.
This view states that god is truely omnipotent and all knowing and so he created the world perfictly at the beginging of time. Free will comes into play here because God is all knowing, he already knows what you will do. "He" would already know that the child will change her mind. So to answer your question in this view "He" already answered the prayer at the beginging of time knowing full well the out come. Good and bad are outcomes for the greater good "God works in misterious ways." "He" has a set plan for the human race so what we think is evil is just something that will effect "His" plan for the greater good.

Or do you see god as ominpresent? This view states that God is here on earth (this view also incompasses the view that we are all part of god, or holism). In this view god is ever changing along with human beings. Freewill here is God not knowing the true outcome of free will or if he does he ignores it. So if the child does change her mind it is free will. Thus the quote "becareful what you wish for you might get it." God here has no set plans for the humans race or if he does it is very general ie the betterment of mankind. Here good and evil are outcomes of some form of free will. Natural disasters can be thought of in this view as a teaching tools. hey your not doing something that i want done or to strengthen the peoples will, morals, valuse. ect...

So to answer you question you must first know your god view. This is a very dry and acidemic answer to your question so Lebell may give you a better spirtual answer.
