Cultivating a Listening Heart

Prayer is often treated like a monologue. We bring our requests, our worries, our hopes, and then move on. But prayer was always meant to be a conversation.

“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak.” (James 1:19)

Listening is not passive. It’s an act of faith.

Making Room to Listen

Fasting removes distractions so listening becomes possible. Silence may feel unfamiliar, but it’s often where God speaks most clearly.

At Peak City Church in Colorado Springs, we create environments where people can slow down and encounter God authentically. You don’t have to have the right words. You don’t have to pray perfectly. You just have to be present.

Listening Builds Trust

When we listen, we learn to trust God’s guidance rather than relying solely on our own instincts. Over time, listening shapes our decisions, our relationships, and our priorities.

This posture of listening is part of why so many people find Peak City to be a church where you can belong before you believe. Questions are welcomed. Growth is encouraged. Grace is central.

Prayer for Today

God, help me slow down enough to listen. Quiet my thoughts and tune my heart to Your voice. Amen.
