Struggling with Financial Anxiety

I've been feeling overwhelmed with my current financial situation. Just last month, I realized I have over $4,500 in credit card debt, mostly from unexpected expenses that piled up. I keep thinking about this huge payment due next Wednesday that I’m really nervous about. Despite working hard and picking up extra shifts, it’s like every time I think I’m making progress, something else comes up. It’s been hard to stay encouraged when I feel like the weight keeps on pressing down. Honestly, I find myself spiraling into anxiety about money and what the future holds. I want to be a good steward of the resources God has given me, but I sometimes can’t see a path forward. I’ve also been having these nagging thoughts about being generous with what I do have, but fear keeps me from really letting go. I know putting my trust in God can help, but I'm struggling to fully believe that right now. If you could just pray for peace over my anxiety and guidance on how to manage my finances better, that would mean a lot. Hoping to find clarity and perhaps wisdom in making the right decisions going forward—thank you for holding me in your prayers.
