29 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.”
Pray persistently for those we are not sure have found God, do not give up even if it takes a long time before you know the Holy Spirit has changed their heart. Do not give up.

To me, what's so powerful about that line from Paul....is that there's no set path for people to come to Christ. Some people are quick. You present them with the info, and they are on board. Others come along, much slower. There's no formula. Everyone works/thinks a little differently. I'm thinking of your brother here. He needs a more time to work it all thru. Some of that is probably due to his life path, up to this point. Things happen that make is easier or harder to accept that fact that you aren't in control of anything......and that's really a good thing. Its the realization that your lack of control is the best possible scenario.
