Thomas Brooks emphasizes that God's watchful eye is always upon His
people, even in their darkest and most secret moments. He reassures
believers that no matter where they find themselves, God sees their
hidden tears, hears their silent cries, and understands their deepest
desires. This divine attention is not just observational but filled with
love and compassion, as God is always ready to respond to their needs.
Brooks highlights that every sigh, groan, and longing of the heart is
known to God, reminding Christians that they are never out of His sight
or reach.

"Lord! all my desire is before You; and my groaning

is not hidden from You." Psalm 38:9

We cannot get into any blind hole, or dark corner, or

secret place--but the Lord has an eye there, the Lord

will keep us company there. There is not the darkest,

dirtiest hole in the world into which a saint creeps--but

God has a favorable eye there. God never lacks . . .

an eye to see our secret tears,

nor an ear to hear our secret cries and groans,

nor a heart to grant our secret requests.

We cannot sigh out a prayer in secret--but He sees us;

we cannot lift up our eyes to Him at midnight--but He

observes us. The eye which God has upon His people

when they are in secret, is such a special tender eye of

love--as opens His ear, His heart, and His hand, for their

good. "For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and

His ears are attentive to their prayer." 1 Peter 3:12

God's eye is upon . . .

every secret sigh, and

every secret groan, and

every secret tear, and

every secret desire, and

every secret pant of love,

and every secret breathing of soul,

and every secret melting and working of heart.

As a Christian is never out of the reach of God's

hand, so he is never out of the view of God's eye.
