I haven't heard of one, but i know that Jesus is much more powerful than any little prayer.....why don't you pray to Him directly...He shall guide you directly. Oh, and I will pray for you as well.

Lord, I take the time right now to pray for this couple who is seeking your will that they may bare a child. Jesus, I know that there are many women in the Bible who have had hard times TTC, yet they finally did. You say that if you have the faith of a tiny mustard seed, we can move mountains, and Lord, I stand on this and know that you are powerful...through good times and through hard times where we struggle.....I know this for I have struggled these past weeks myself!! Lord, I pray that this woman would carry to term without any complications, a healthy baby and be blessed abundantly forever and ever...in Jesus name I pray, AMEN!

If you pray to the Virgin Mary, you may like this prayer. I found it when I was researching places to go in St. Augustine, FL. There's a mission there (Mission of Nombre de Dios), and within this mission is a shrine to the Mother of Jesus - read about it here (it explains la Leche): Our Lady Statue

Here's the prayer they have:

Prayer to Our Lady of la Leche
Lovely Lady of la Leche, most loving mother of the Child Jesus, and my mother, listen to my humble prayer. Your motherly heart knows my every wish, my every need. To you only, His spotless Virgin Mother, has your Divine Son given to understand the sentiments which fill my soul. Yours was the sacred privilege of being the Mother of the Savior. Intercede with him now, my loving Mother, that, in accordance with His will, I may become the mother of other children of our heavenly Father. This I ask, O Lady of la Leche, in the Name of your Divine Son, My Lord and Redeemer. Amen.

I never did make it there (never went to FL), but I plan on going sometime next year.

I don't know what religion you are but, this is a Catholic prayer to St. Gerard Patron Saint of Motherhood. My SIL gave it to me after my miscarriage.

O good St. Gerard powerful intercessor before God and wonder-worker of our day; I call upon thee and seek thy aid.
Thou who on Earth didst always fulfill God's design help me to do the Holy Will of God.
Beseech the Master of Life, from whom all paternity proceedeth to render me fruitful in offspring, that I may raise up children to God in this life and heirs to the Kingdom of His glory in the world to come.
Amen.

Hi Jazzi,

I agree with Rebekah. I pray directly to our Heavenly Father and to Jesus. He does lead us, gives comfort, peace, joy, etc. I feel it whenever I ask for it. I to am struggling with infertility. I just know that He is control, not me, and I have to trust that. I also will pray for you.

Heavenly Father,
I come before you today to first give you thanks and praise. I lift up Jazzi and her DH in prayer to you Lord. They are struggling with infertility and need your help and guidance. Lord, please bless this couple with a child. You know the pain they are feeling, Lord ease that pain. I also pray for you to bring peace and comfort to Jazzi and her husband. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, AMEN!

See the quote in my signature. In Book I of Samuel, Samuel's mother Hannah said these words to G-d because of her bitterness and frustration with infertility for years. After saying these words, she conceived Samuel and had 6 other children in her lifetime!
