Facing Overwhelming Anxiety

This might sound a bit dramatic, but I feel like I’m in over my head lately. Between managing my bills, trying to keep up at work, and dealing with the uncertainty of upcoming events, my anxiety feels like a tidal wave. I can’t pinpoint exactly what’s making me feel this way, but it’s like I’m caught in a loop of worry. I have this job presentation coming up next Thursday, and I keep replaying every possible scenario in my head. What if I freeze? What if my ideas aren’t good enough? There are days when I wake up feeling hopeful, but come afternoon, the weight of it all just pulls me down. Sometimes I just lay there at night, staring at the ceiling, feeling completely overwhelmed by the unknowns. I’ve been praying for peace of mind and to trust that God has a plan, but I find it hard to quiet the noise in my head. I would really appreciate your prayers for some clarity and calm as I navigate this. I need to trust that I'm supported, and I hope for the strength to face whatever comes my way without drowning in anxiety. Thank you for being there.
