Por ahora, los textos de estas oraciones están en inglés. Solo publicamos en español las oraciones cuya traducción podemos verificar en una fuente ortodoxa publicada o en la Reina-Valera 1909.
“...for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it. ... I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.”Philippians 4:11-12
Reflexión (en inglés)
Contentment, Paul says, is learned — not a personality trait but a practice grown over time. It is not pretending you have no desires, nor giving up on hope. It is finding, in Christ, a settled peace that does not depend on your circumstances changing. You can long for things and still be at rest, because your deepest contentment is found in Him.
Una oración (en inglés)
Lord, teach me the secret Paul learned — to be content in You, whatever my circumstances. I do not want a forced cheerfulness that denies my real longings, nor a restless discontent that cannot rest. Anchor my peace in You. Help me hold my hopes honestly and still live at rest today, satisfied first and most deeply in Your love. Amen.
Llévalo contigo (en inglés)
What would it mean to hold your longings honestly while still being at peace in God today?
