I personally have experienced the transforming power of Christ in my whole life as I have given it up wholly to him. Yes, there are moments when I forget and I still hold on to things that I want or that I can’t seem to let go. I forget the refuge that the Lord is and I hold back certain parts of my heart (Ps. 62:8). Sometimes these moments last longer than I would like. But Jesus is faithful to remind me how important it is to fuse everything about myself, my heart, my daily life, daily thoughts and daily actions with my faith and my prayers to him. And it is in those beautiful moments of devout holiness that my faith influences every area of my life and more people see more of Christ (Heb. 12:14).

William Law
According to William Law, our faith
should have influence in every area of our lives. The combination of spiritual life with daily
life is key. We cannot simply offer up
prayers wholly to God without offering our whole lives up to him as well, and
vice versa. Both are absurd. Law speaks of what it looks like to be
seriously devoted to Christ in all that we do.
To Law, it means being devoted to Christ wholly – not just in occasional
prayers.
