Perhaps you should look at your walk with God. You may find if you become closer to him your troubles will get farther away. Worked for me.
Either way, I am praying for you.
Edited to add:
6 years ago I had been working for a company for close to 15 years. I was the commercial division manager. One day the president of the company came into my office and informed me that they were shutting down the commercial division and that I needed to go ahead and lay off all employees directly under me and I had 30 days to complete jobs that were already going with residential employees.
Fast forward: I searched for a job but could not find one that would even come close to what I was making. Most only wanted to pay me straight commission and after a job was complete and job costing was done. That would mean I would have to wait at least 30 days for a 1 day job. Most of the jobs we do are 7-45 days so I could go almost 3 months without a payday. Lets face it, I was almost 60 years old and been in the industry 40+ years so doing what I do best was not an option for most companies I applied at. My wife and I sat down and prayed hard about what to do. God kept sending me little hints, A/C license expiring soon, trade magazines coming in the mail, and even a truck that was gifted to us. Okay God, I now understand. You want me to start my own business. But I don't have the capital to do it as we should. Then we get the bank statement showing our savings and my 401K statement on the same day. Wife and I discussed it, drew out all of our savings, cashed in most of the 401K and started our own business. That was 6 years ago, we have put all of our 401K back, all of our savings plus some have been deposited back, Tithing 10%+ each week,and we are doing okay. Had some health about a year and a half ago issues that also affected our business but that was God telling me to remember where all of this came from and now we are healthy (or as much as I can be at my age) and business is doing well and I owe it all to God.
