Is there a program that takes an encrypted string and tries to find a way to decrypt it?

No; there is no such thing as magic.

I can hope (Well, for testing I can hope there is. For releasing software, I hope there isn't)

I have been trying all sorts of searches on google and haven't come up with anything yet.

I'm sure there is. Can you post the string?
Depending on the kind of encryption, and the kind of the data, there are various tricks that can be tried.
Brute-force works surprisingly often. It helps if you have a zombie army at your beck and call, too. (I mean, I would assume.)

It is a home made encryption and I'm hoping it isn't easy to decrypt.

Unless you're a hard-core cryptographer, the answer is that it's easy to decrypt. Of course, that assumes that there are enough samples to work from, but that usually isn't a problem.
You're WAY better off sticking with one of the known good crypto algorithms and spending your time ensuring that your encryption key is a strong key.
