Life is dependent on us surrendering our lives to the Lord. I don’t mean that your everyday life is dependent on this but your eternity and mine are dependent on giving our lives to Jesus. That is one of the meanings of “take up your cross daily and follow Me”. We are supposed to sacrifice our lives to Him and live our lives walking by Him every single day. At work, at home, in the car, or at a restaurant we are supposed to reflect Jesus in our speech and in our lives so others can see it even if we don’t say anything to them about Him.

Have faith that He will carry you through every day regardless of the pain or the success that you have. He gives you everything that you need to get through every hour of every day.
