Create a space in your home or office to be a “war room” for prayer. Pray throughout this challenge as much as possible in that space. Pray for your coworkers, your friends, your family, the lost, the stolen, the broken, the sick, the church, the next generation, this generation and the government.
This challenge is priceless, but you can add 125 points per week for praying in that space. For the 125 Days of Wellness scoreboard, go to this link.
