I offer the following Scriptures, trusting that at least one of them will be a word just for you. I know God is faithful to send us a special word when we so need it. And I believe there is something here especially for you.
Psalm 32:6-8: "For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye."
Psalm 31:6-8: "I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord. I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; and hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room."
Psalm 41:1-3: "Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness."
Psalm 31:1, 5: "In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.... Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth."
Psalm 56:8, 9, 11: "Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me."
Psalm 86:17: "Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me."
