I would love some guidance. 

Where can I find hope in Scripture for following Christ when family and friends are non-believers.

I find friends and family are distancing themselves from me.  I have believed for a long time, but I was weak in my faith and afraid of being judged and losing friends, so I stayed silent.  As my faith became stronger and pride lost its importance, things changed. I have been called a Jesus freak and a Bible thumper.  I see this as a compliment now and feel that I am on a straighter path.  This is all so positive and I feel closer to the Lord than ever?.  My sadness is for them I guess...    these people include my entire family, except for my son.  

I would love some encouraging Bible Verses. 

God bless you!

Psalm 31:19 Oh, how abundant is your goodness,
    which you have stored up for those who fear you
and worked for those who take refuge in you,
    in the sight of the children of mankind!
20 In the cover of your presence you hide them
    from the plots of men;
you store them in your shelter
    from the strife of tongues.

21 Blessed be the Lord,
    for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me
    when I was in a besieged city.
22 I had said in my alarm,
    “I am cut off from your sight.”
But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy
    when I cried to you for help.

23 Love the Lord, all you his saints!
    The Lord preserves the faithful
    but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
    all you who wait for the Lord!
