The book of Psalms has been especially a comfort to me during this time. I've always encouraged the kids to claim Psalm 37 when worries enter their life. I call it "God's recipe for peace". Please pray that we heed it through every step with Katelyn, one step at a time.
FRET NOT (vs.1)
TRUST in the Lord, and do good. (vs.3)
DELIGHT thyself also in the Lord and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. (vs.4)
COMMIT thy way unto the Lore; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass. (vs.5)
REST in the Lord, and ... (vs.7)
WAIT patiently for him. (vs.7)
FRET NOT (vs.7)
CEASE FROM ANGER (vs.8)
FORSAKE WRATH (vs.8)
FRET NOT thyself in anyway to do evil. (vs.8)
Then the Lord gives some precious promises as we follow the above steps while reinforcing some of them at the same time:
vs. 23,24 - The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he DELIGHTETH in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
vs. 28 - For the Lord loveth justice and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved forever...
vs. 34 - WAIT on the Lord, and keep his way; and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land...
The ending result: vs. 37 - Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of that man is PEACE.
vs. 39,40 - But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; he is their strength in the time of trouble. And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; he shall deliver thee from the wicked, and save them, because they TRUST in him.
