Perhaps that is where the grain of mustard seed is necessary to start the process.

 

 

 Acts 18:10-12

10 As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea.   On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.

11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

12 As a result, many of them believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.

 

Paul did NOT ask them to PRAY to see if the Scriptures were true...

[wita]

and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Can’t fault them for examining every day. You were there so you know there was no prayer involved.
