Struggling with Financial Anxiety

This has been a really tough season for me. Between rising costs and unexpected expenses, I’ve found myself in a pretty tight financial squeeze. I’ve accumulated about $5,000 in credit card debt, and honestly, the weight of it feels suffocating. I find myself waking up at night, my mind racing over bills and how I’m going to make it through the month. I had to dip into my emergency fund last month to cover car repairs, which has left me more anxious about what might come up next. I want to be wise with what I have, but sometimes it feels like no matter how hard I try, I just can’t get ahead. I’m also reminding myself to be generous, but with this burden hanging over me, it’s hard not to hold back out of fear. Please pray for some clarity and calmness in my heart. I’m hoping to find guidance on budgeting and maybe even some additional income opportunities. All together, I just need peace of mind knowing that God provides, even when the path isn’t clear.
