Prayers for Financial Stability

I can’t shake off this feeling of anxiousness about our finances. We’re drowning in debt—around $10,000 now—and it feels like every month brings another surprise expense we just can’t predict. My paycheck only covers the basics, and my husband is still looking for steady work. Honestly, we need something to change soon. Our kids are depending on us, and while we’re trying to stay positive, the burden is heavy. There's a church event coming up that I'd love to help with, but I’m struggling with guilt about not being able to contribute financially this time. I know God calls us to be generous, and I truly want to be able to give and serve others more freely. It's frustrating to feel so constrained. Just last week I found a grocery coupon that might help, but it's just not enough. Please pray for us to find some financial relief soon. Maybe even some guidance on how to budget better or find new opportunities. I’m hopeful—there are moments I feel God’s presence, but there are also nights I lie awake worrying. Just really hoping for some peace and support through this. Thank you so much for listening.
