Navigating Financial Anxiety

I've been carrying a heavy burden lately with my finances. I never thought I’d be in a position where I would need to rely on credit cards for basic expenses, but here I am, looking at a balance of around $5,000 that just keeps piling on. I’m trying to manage it responsibly, but each month feels more overwhelming. It's hard not to feel that pit in my stomach when I check my accounts or when bills arrive in the mail. I can see the impact on my mental health, and I worry about how I’m going to provide for myself in the future. Next month, I have an important budgeting meeting with my advisor, who has promised to help map out a plan, but I honestly feel anxious about what my financial future holds. I’m hoping for clarity and wisdom to be good stewards of what I do have. Please pray that I remain receptive to guidance and have the strength to make necessary adjustments. Thank you for being my support. I truly believe that God will provide, but right now, I need reassurance and spiritual support during this tough time.
