If you love and believe in Jesus Christ, depend on Him as your only means of salvation, and have a clean heart before Him, please don't click off of this article without at least praying, "Your will be done."
Thanks to those who prayed in response to "Pray with me 1, my friends."
Here are my concerns in short:
My family is moving. I feel for anybody going through this.
Our social life will be especially disorganized, and this could potentially be very hard on my younger sibling.
Mom is ill, and rigorous activity is hard for her.
Dad will need a new job when we get there.
We will be moving close to Dad's relatives, and will have to adjust to their idiosyncrasies. In some cases we need to be a good example without being sucked in.
The house we are going to needs work.
I personally need to move out soon, and it's looking hard.
Below, I believe, is a prayer strategy. Brothers, sisters, please help me.
Exodus 17:11-12 (New International Version)
As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset.
Jesus,
Thanks for being with us all this time. Keep being our strength and help us with this next challenge.
Small Update:
Thanks for praying. My immediate family members are doing quite well (and I'm not just saying that). My relatives have been easy to be around also.

I have just read your article asking for prayer for you and your family. I hear deep concern and maybe a bit of fear of the unknown...I have been there, so I know. Perhaps if you looked at this move as a transition period, a change of location, scenery, new horizons that God has planned for you and yours. Just trust HIM, HE will never fail to guide you. Do not pay attention to your emotions in this situation but ask God what your assignment is and listen closely to the Holy Spirit. God will be at your destination just as HE is with you now. He will never leave you or forsake you because HE loves you. TRUST HIM!!!
