Many people use a framework when giving speeches or writing articles. This helps them remember what to say, like using a three-step process, an acronym, or alliteration.

In sermons, you often hear the speaker say, The three points today are this, this, and this. I like using frameworks too, even during my prayer times. It doesn’t mean I’m stuck with just that framework, but it gives me a guide or roadmap.

For experienced people of prayer, a framework might not be necessary. But for those new to praying or seeking guidance, having a framework is like having a map. It helps you know where you’re going and where you want to be.

I enjoy starting with praise and thanksgiving, especially using the Psalms. With Scripture and the Holy Spirit guiding me, along with a framework, then I can focus my prayers better.

So join me in the prayer cast. I’ll talk more about using a framework and even go through a prayer with one. At the end of the prayer time, I’ll share the framework I used and see if you recognized it.

If you find the framework helpful, please share with a friend to help them.
