Seeking Peace Amidst Worry

I thought things were settling down, but honestly, I feel like I’m drowning in anxiety. With my son’s high school graduation coming up next month, there’s just so much on my plate. I’m worried about the costs of everything—his senior trip, the graduation party, even college applications. Each time I look at our finances, it feels like a mountain I can’t climb, and I’m shutting down under the weight of it all. With bills piling up and almost $3,000 in unexpected expenses lately, I can’t help but feel overwhelmed. I know I should bring these concerns to God, but sometimes it's hard to feel hopeful when the future is so uncertain. I’m also anxious about my husband’s health. He’s been feeling off and I can’t shake this fear that it could be serious. That nagging feeling keeps me up at night. It feels as though every day brings new worries, and I keep questioning how to trust God fully amidst all this turmoil. I'm begging for some peace of mind—just clarity and a sense of calm to help guide me through these upcoming challenges. Please pray that I can surrender these worries and find comfort in faith. I really need the strength to trust that everything will work out as it should, especially with everything looming ahead.
