Struggling with Financial Anxiety

This is a bit tough to share, but lately, I've been feeling overwhelmed with our financial situation. We have about $3,000 in credit card debt that's been hanging over our heads for months now. It feels like no matter how hard we try to budget, unexpected expenses keep popping up, like my car needing repairs and our son’s school fees. Honestly, it’s causing a lot of stress at home and making it hard to stay focused on anything else. We’re trying to be wise stewards of what we have, but I also battle guilt about not being able to contribute more. My husband has taken on extra shifts, and while I appreciate his hard work, I worry about the toll it’s taking on him. We have a family gathering coming up next month, and I’d love to be able to join in without feeling weighed down by financial burdens. I would appreciate prayers for peace in my heart as we navigate through this. Also, guidance on how to manage our finances better would really help. I just want to find a way to alleviate this anxiety and trust that God has a plan for us during this tough time.
