Struggling with Financial Stress

I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed lately. My family has about $15,000 in credit card debt that’s just been piling up, and it’s hard to sleep at night thinking about how to tackle it. Honestly, every month feels like a juggling act between paying bills and putting food on the table for my two kids. My wife and I are doing our best to keep things afloat, but I can feel the pressure building. I know it’s affecting my moods and our overall family dynamic, and I just want to provide some peace and stability for us all. This Tuesday, I have an interview for a side job that could help us make a dent in this debt. I’m praying it goes well; I really need to feel confident and equipped to handle the questions. I feel like I’ve lost a bit of that motivation lately, but I know there has to be hope somewhere. I also want to be generous in this tough time, but it’s hard not to feel selfish when I’m worried about our own needs. If you could keep our family in your thoughts, I would really appreciate it. I’m trusting that God will guide us through this, but I could use some community support to help lift this burden. Thank you for your prayers.
