9 Even my friend[a] in whom I trusted,
one who ate my bread,
has raised his heel against me. (Psalm 41:9 CSB)

Life can, at times, feel like we are going through it alone. That even our closest friends have either turned against us or walked away from us. While this can be the case it is just as easy for us to allow our inner darkness to distort reality.

Often we are the cause of our own isolation. We believe we are in this life alone and must muddle through without any support. For most of us this is not the case. We have friends and family close at hand if we will but open up to them.

Isolation is one of the enemy’s favorite tools. Do not isolate yourself from those who care most.
