Struggling with Financial Anxiety

I've been feeling overwhelmed with financial stress lately. My husband and I are currently dealing with about $15,000 in credit card debt after some unexpected expenses piled up. To make matters worse, my paycheck has been smaller this month due to a couple of missed shifts because of a family emergency. Honestly, it’s really tough to see a way out, especially with two kids to care for and other bills that keep stacking up. I'm trying to keep my head above water—to be responsible with our budget while also meeting our family’s needs. I want to make wise decisions, but the anxiety makes it hard to think clearly. I can’t shake the worry that I won't be able to provide for them the way I want to. On top of that, there’s a sense of guilt creeping in about being in this position. I know we need to seek help and guidance, but I’m struggling to even reach out. I would really appreciate your prayers for clarity, provision, and peace in this overwhelming season. I know God sees our situation, but having that supportive community backing me up would mean so much. Thank you for being there.
