Seeking Financial Wisdom and Peace

I need to share something that’s been weighing heavily on my heart. For the past year, my finances have been so tight and honestly, it feels overwhelming at times. I've accumulated around $15,000 in credit card debt. Every month, keeping up with the minimum payments feels like a losing battle. It's hard not to worry about how I’m going to pay it all off and provide for my family. I have made strides to cut back on expenses and started a budget, but the anxiety just keeps creeping back. I’m praying for wisdom and clarity in this financial situation. I really want to be a good steward of what I’ve been given, but it feels like I'm constantly fighting an uphill battle. I also hope to be generous where I can without sacrificing my own needs. Honestly, it breaks my heart to think I can’t help others as much as I want to, all because of my own entanglement in debt. I have a feeling I need to seek some professional financial planning, but I’ve been hesitant to make that step. If you could keep me in your thoughts, I’d appreciate the encouragement and any wisdom you have to share. I’m trusting that God has a plan, and I just need the strength and openness to follow it, even when it feels dark.
