Psalms 119:82. Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
"I look for it till my eyes ache; I strain my eyes to see thy word, watching for it till my vision grows dull in waiting: ‘Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying."’ Oh, then, his eyes could speak! Yes, eyes can say a great many things; and blessed are the eyes that have learned to say this: "When wilt thou comfort me?" It is a good way of praying, sometimes, to say nothing at all, but to sit still and look up. The eyes can say what lips and tongue cannot, so learn well the language of the eyes, and talk to God with them, even as he talks to you with his eyes. "I will guide thee," says he, "with mine eye." Be you, therefore, able to speak to God with your eyes, as David was when he wrote, "Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?"
