Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?” Paul replied, “Short time or long—I pray to God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.” Acts 26:28-29
Notice that Paul didn't attempt to persuade Agrippa. Paul prayed. Paul prayed that God would do the work through him. Paul was faithful and hopeful and obedient and knew that persuasion is less effective than witnessing.
Lord, help me to pray first and then allow my witness through actions do the speaking for me.
