Quotes by Esther Smith (?)

“If you treat intrusive thoughts with biblical guidance meant for sinful thoughts, you will get worse, not better. When painful thinking clouds our minds, we need a variety of strategies that address the varying causes and consequences of our thoughts. These strategies should take into account the influence of our bodies, minds, souls, and relationships.”
― Esther Smith, A Still and Quiet Mind: Twelve Strategies for Changing Unwanted Thoughts
