Some of the deepest pains come not from "enemies," but from people who used to be friends. What can be worse is that they still claim to be your friend but their actions speak otherwise. In Psalm 41, David speaks of those who come by to visit but do so they may say evil against him. He also speaks of those with whom he shared bread or had close fellowship and who now have turned against him. Yet David says that even in this God will bring deliverance. God does and we can rest in that.
As Christians, we don't let these people pull us down; we are called to forgive them and love them. Jesus taught us to love our enemies and forgiving those who treat us wrongly. It isn't always easy but knowing that God will make all things right can help.
