Listen for English

To dey feel alone na deep suffering wey plenty people dey endure.  One reason why e dey pain so much na say the person wey dey feel alone dey suffer by imself, with only few people, if any dey at all, to help reduce the pain.  If no be so, the person no go dey feel alone.  E fit surprise you say even people wey other people surround from morning reach night every day fit still dey feel alone.  Even the person wey everybody know and wey dey freely mix with people for the community fit sometimes struggle with deep pain of feeling alone.  People fit no easily notice this because such people often dey “wear mask” to cover how dem dey feel alone.  This feeling of being alone na real thing, and e dey come because of one very deep need wey all of us get.  Na the need for another person to really know us.  We want make people know us and understand us.  We need people wey go listen to us, care for us, understand us and love us for who we really be deep inside.  Just because everybody know person or plenty people surround am no mean say this need don meet, because the “popular” person fit never really show anybody wetin dey inside im heart.  The best answer to this feeling of being alone na to get God close to you for your life.  A true and deeply personal relationship with your Lord dey help you get peace, as you know say God know you, understand you and love you.  This gift still dey open way for you to find people wey you fit share your joys and struggles with.  Seek deep closeness with the Lord.  Na this be the greatest help for heart wey dey feel alone (See Diary #1542).

Today, talk true to yourself and think deeply about how you dey feel alone for your own life.  Whether na you dey make every gathering lively or na you dey quietly stay one side, anybody fit feel alone.  Think too about how deep closeness with our Lord na the main cure.  Look at your relationship with Am and open your heart to His love.

Lord, I invite You enter my heart.  Come stay there and show me Your tender love.  Help me understand say You know me well-well and You love me completely.  I give You my heart, dear Lord.  Jesus, na You I trust.
