Take a deep breathe... and let it out slowly.

You are under a lot of pressure at the moment and its quite understandable. I'm sorry this sounds so overwhelming. Sometimes worry in a situation is a point for our built-in alarm saying to us - be aware, pay attention, take heed, take action. This sounds like one of those situation.

Putting together an action plan might help you - finding local resources to help you (legal assistance, rent assistance, child care assistance, grocery assistance, utility assistance, counseling assistance, ect that might help with the financial pressures even for a little while); having a contingency plan in place to respond to your situation (what are your plans if you are evicted? do you have friends and family to go to? will you need to go to a shelter? what are your plans if you aren't evicted but things stay strapped?); having a plan to talk to your kids about why you are stressed and that they needn't worry you will take care of them no matter what (kids are very perceptible to stress and take it on easy and begin to worry themselves and sometimes place blame on themselves, so it's good to talk to them - honestly, confidently, and reassuringly).

Keep your faith... seek the support of your religious community might help you feel better.

Sorry if this wasn't what you were expecting to hear... I hope you don't have to face eviction and the following turmoil.
