God speaks to us all

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, a young woman shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel.
Isiah 7:14

But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

Matthew 1:20-21

The Lord knows what you want and what you need. You might feel perhaps God does not understand your situation, make no make mistake about that, for God himself was incarnate in human nature and he understands every aspect. When Mary was found to be with child, what do you think might have happened? We're told that Joseph wanted to dismiss her quietly, but it also meant that his family would have known about the incident. How would they look at Mary ? What might have Mary gone through in that moment?
And this is where we know that God knows and understands us better than we do ourselves. In the given situation it would have been very difficult for Mary to defend herself which is why God spoke to Joseph through an Angel. It was a sign Joseph saw very clearly because he was a just man and trusted in God. And God speaks to each one of us too, all we need to do is be open to what he has to say, and God will make a way where there seems to be no way.

I pray that God our Father reveal to you the plan He has for you and may you be like Jesus obedient to all that the Father asks of you and may His Holy Spirit strengthen you in this your endeavor. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
