I have looked high and low for infertility prayers to help me with my journey. Anyway, I haven't been able to find ANYTHING I liked in books, online, etc - so I wrote my own. I hope for anyone who needs a prayer now and then, this might help you too.

Juli's Infertility Prayer

Lord,

Give me the strength to rejoice in others’ pregnancies, and to pray for the healthy births of babies everywhere;
Give me the wisdom to choose the right course of treatments, including knowing when it’s time to stop;
Give me the courage to keep trying, especially if my heart and my doctors don’t agree;
Give me the faith to keep believing, to see light when my mind is swept with thoughts of darkness;
Give me the patience to remember that all things beautiful and precious are worth waiting for;
Give me the tolerance to withstand the advice offered by family and friends, and siphon from them hope rather than resentment;
Give me the power to keep our marriage strong and our vows untainted;
Give me the nourishment to feed my body and soul during periods of physical and emotional exhaustion;
Give me the words to share my story with others, so that my journey can help sustain theirs;
Give me the peace to relinquish all control to You, and allow you to share Your plan through me;

Lord, fill my heart with hope;
Help me conceive my child in love;
And if that is not in Your plans help me see the way.

This I Pray.
