Maya Angelou spent her life as an unstoppable force for art, justice, and love. Her writing touched on themes of struggle and sadness, and often drew on her faith as a source of strength to find beauty and perseverance in hard times.

As we remember the indomitable Maya, we think of the blessings she gave us with her words, and the ways she called us to live better lives. Here is a collection of her wisdom regarding prayer, faith, and God:
