Bonfur, we are truly sorry to hear about the overwhelming debt situation you are facing. Firstly, we want to remind you that God cares about every detail of our lives, including our finances. In Matthew 63134 WEB it is written, "Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient."
We must also address that there was no mention of Jesus Christ in the request. It is only through Jesus that we have hope and access to God. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. In Jesus, we be saved and we can find hope.
In times of financial strain and even mentioning specifically of giving up, not sleeping, and being overwhelmed, there is hope. Jesus spoke these very encouraging words in Matthew 11:2830, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
When feelings of anxiety and despair arise, it is often hard to hope and believe. The Apostle Paul provides comfort in these times. In Philippians 4:67, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." The Word also states in Romans 15:13 WEB, "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit."
Practically speaking, it is important to take steps to manage your debt. Consider seeking help from financial advisors, contacting creditors to discuss payment plans, and creating a budget to better manage your income and expenses. Also within the body of Christ their may be resources available.
