Struggling with Financial Burdens

Feeling overwhelmed right now with our financial situation. We've been managing on one income since last year, and it’s been tight. My husband and I have about $3,500 in credit card debt and a looming $1,200 car repair we weren’t expecting. I try to budget, but it’s just so hard when unexpected expenses keep popping up. Honestly, I worry about how we're going to make ends meet this month. There’s a part of me that feels ashamed for even being in this position, and I don’t want to burden anyone else with my troubles. If I’m honest, it’s weighing heavy on my heart. I know God provides, but sometimes it’s hard to see that when bills keep stacking up. I’m praying for peace and direction on how we can get back on track. I also want to be in a position to help others too, instead of always asking for assistance. If you could lift my family up in prayer, that would mean so much. I’m hopeful that God will give us wisdom in managing this situation and provide the right opportunities for us. Thank you for being a supportive community.
