Wrong use, over-used or abused of God-given gifts and talents?

I am soliciting prayers from our dear friends that I can make use of the gifts and talents that God gave me so I could find the best ways and means to settle all my financial obligations that I'm presently facing due to so-much-business-plans I wanted to be involved with few years back but when I came to realize that it is He who could provide us more than what we expect, I immediately changed my personal perspective in life. I'm a Master of Science in Business Administration Candidate and at the same time a licensed real estate broker who had been earning so much from this field in about 13 years. I’ve been in the government service for the past 18 years and has been doing my very best to be of our city’s help as a public servant. But our dear Lord gave me reason for this situation and I know He has a message to me and/or to my family. I am a mother to 4 and an active covenanted member of a catholic-covenant community where my husband and I are still being expected to be of everybody's help for the past 10 years in this community. It was only about 2 years ago when I started experiencing the heavy-loads and having a hard-time to earn for a living. And, it has been a year ago when I've been asking the Lord to grant me financial blessing/recovery so I may continue to help my fellow-community members. I know how to give tithes of time, talent and treasure but to date, I'm wondering why am I experiencing this financial worsening situation. I'm beginning to ask myself: "Did I over-use/abuse the gifts and talents that God gave me?" "Is this the reason why am I at this situation?" I regularly attend Holy Mass, say the rosary and novenas, and read several internet sites regarding bible-knowledge, spirituality/self-help topics and reviews so I could analyze/realize and DISCERN His message. During the Lenten season, I did my very best to satisfy my obligation as a renewed-catholic Christian. I joined several Lenten activities as my, not to mention as my sacrifices, but an offering to Him. Further, I'm not saying that I'm doing good deeds to my brothers and sisters simply because I'm expecting something in return from Him as His rewards or as an indulgence to these actions. I'm just praying that He could lend me His wisdom while I'm looking for the best ways and means to persistently settle these obligations. I know it very well that those prayers could be of BIG help to us but being so diligent to work, which is my best asset, will help cause I know, I'll be the one to work on it. We then pray that all my/our actions be according to His will. Lord, have mercy on me and my family. Give us graces. And Lord, help me keep Your commandments so I may be spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically and financially healthy/stable.
