From Atlanta-Despite all of her college degrees, numerous other accomplishments and impressive family Life, Beth-Sarah Wright still fell victim to the turmoil and trouble life can sometimes bring. Wright, the wife of the new Episcopal bishop of the diocese of Atlanta, shared the story of her struggle with depression in a book she released a few years ago and will continue sharing her story during a visit to St. Simon's Episcopal Church in Conyers next week.
Wright will speak on the "Power of Prayer" at St. Simon's at 12:30 p.m. Feb. 24.
"Prayer is something very close to my heart because I feel it is a part of our lives as Christians, as believers and people of faith," Wright said.
"But it is also one of the most challenging things to create a fulfilling prayer life. It used to cause me so much fear to pray in public. I would get very nervous and was unsure how to pray. I did some more Bible study on how to pray and came to the conclusion that prayer is a conversation and you being comfortable to talk and communicate with God."
For this daughter of an Episcopal priest, prayer has been crucial to her life but was particularly vital during the time she found herself in the depths of depression.
