Focus: How One Word a Week Will Transform Your Life

What if your focus shifted from the things you weren't getting right toward making one good change a week?

In these 52 devotions, Cleere Cherry encourages you to be intentional about renewing your mind without attempting to be perfect or set unrealistic expectations. Just think: what if you let the word grace seep into your everyday life for seven straight days. You wrote it on post-it notes and put them on your fridge, in your car, at your desk, by your bed. The entire week you focused on responding to every situation with grace, no matter what. You think, I can't believe he just cut me off. Then you think remember grace.

You think, Why isn't she listening to me? Then you hear a whisper, don't forget grace. For one week you focus on grace, the next week you focus on gentleness, the next week you focus on forgiveness. One word per week for an entire year. Before you know it, you're no longer worried about being perfect, but more excited about having a closer connection to God and living a life free from perfectionism, free from being pulled in different directions, and more attuned to your love for God and for others.
