Queenaravis, you remind me of an experience I had in my Naval basic training.
We were allowed to attend worship services if we wished, and of course I wished. At the gymnasium which doubled as the recruit chapel, the first sermon I heard was about the incident of Jesus walking on the water to join His disciples when they were out on the lake in bad weather. The speaker said that Jesus would have been on His way in this fashion for some time before He became visible to His disciples--which meant that help was on the way for them before they were aware of it.
That message was timely for me, bootcamp being no fun; and my remembering it may be in God's timing for you. The answer to your prayers may already be on the way.
