Amen.
Teal, I did this for many months. I really focused on the positive. Did (still do) all the spiritual things one is meant to do for financial success. Said Nishmas (I still do). Kept learning about emunah, working on money blocks, and encouraging myself and DH but it has been SOOOO long and although we seem to be holding it together, we're not functioning in any shape or form.
(I debated writing everything that follows because I truly am blessed and I don't want to seem negative but I know that one day, when Hashem helps us, I'll be able to look back at this thread and marvel at Hashem's salvation.)
DH lost his job more than 6 months ago and his side gig has dwindled to a trickle.
My own freelance work has dwindled, too, after b"H many successful years.
We have several businesses (I.e. vessels) through which Hashem can easily send in the shefa but the few who did use our services of late didn't yet pay for whatever reason.
Job searches have been unnsucessful thus far.
Our car broke and no money to get a replacement and living in a remote area makes this doubly challenging. I.e. can't visit parents, can't get hold of various much-needed items etc.
Desperately need to consult with someone in regards to a child but don't have where to pay from.
Bills keep piling up but there's no where to pay from. And I absolutely HATE paying late or owing money. Need to pay before it goes to court.
Need to pay tuition ASAP.
Fridge/cupboards are bare. I'm on a restricted diet for health reasons which makes it exceptionally difficult and I feel hungry most of the time. I've been mostly managing for the kids with the little income we still have but DH and I just make do with whatever we can find. Nothing very substantial.
Keep reusing baking paper and silver foil whenever possible and use cut toilet rolls instead of tissues.
Havn't bought kids new Shabbos clothes in more than a year and they need it.
Husband's jacket looks terrible and needs to be replaced urgently.
My winter jacket (it's cold already) got damaged and is embarassing for me to wear.
Don't have a succah yet.
Seriously, the list goes on and it's come to a point where for all the gratefulness and positivity, I just want to roll up in a ball and cry. I know Hashem can change this all in an instant but until then, what's a person to do???
I am not open to receiving financial assistance so please don't offer (although I know how amazing women on here are), I just want to know what to do.

I'm in the same boat. Honestly there is nothing we can do. If we make more money Hashem will make it need to be spent somewhere. We have exactly what we need. Just need to keep holding on. I'm saying this to myself

I just want to say that I feel for you. May HaShem send you Shefa Bracha very soon, aiming with peace of mind, health, wealth, joy and all good things.
