Recognizing that money struggles are common helps us to lighten our load and support each other. God wants us to find financial freedom, not to be trapped in shame or guilt over our past mistakes. Taking small steps, like tracking spending, can help us regain control and reduce feelings of overwhelm.

Finding community and support in tackling financial issues can empower us to break the cycle of shame.
