The family of U.S. Marine Sgt. Samuel Nichols is urgently requesting prayer support as they surround Sam, age 23, at Bethesda Naval Hospital. He is in a coma after having suffered a brain injury due to an IED on a mined road in Iraq. The explosion killed three of his men.
Sgt. Nichols was so gravely injured that when he arrived at Bethesda last week, doctors initially held out little hope; but his family began praying immediately and are seeing improvements and hopeful signs this week.
Sgt Nichols' family are believing Christians who are in prayer constantly over him, believing in the Word of God and His promises. Many offers of prayer have reached them; that being the case, all of you who want to join this thread will be a part of a widespread prayer covering for this young man, his loving wife, Erin, his parents and extended family.
He is considered a top-notch Marine. The very name Samuel Nichols is the same as the first Commander of the Marine Corps. This was his third deployment to Iraq. One of his former commanders who is now in DC has stopped by to look in on him. Also last week, a Lieutenant General who is second in command of the Marine Corps came by to award the Purple Heart.
A friend of a friend of his family contacted a member of the DC Chapter whose son had undergone a miraculous recovery from a coma. She forwarded this request to us FReepers for prayer support for Sgt. Nichols, having experienced first-hand the awesome prayer energy that surrounded her son as he fought back to recovery.
I pray to the Father in the Name of Jesus that Sgt. Nichols be restored to complete health. And I will pray for the survivors of those who died in the attack.
Prayers up and done. Counter request for you and other Freepers: Pray for John Weedon the husband of my co-worker just diagnosed with viral meningitis and some other unknown ailment. He was taken to the hospital this weekend and he is very ill.
Dear Lord Jesus,
We pray your healing touch upon this Brave Marine. Lord we pray that you would strengthen him. We pray that you would comfort his family and friends with your loving peace.
In Jesus’ Holy Name,
Amen
Sam and his family are in my prayers.

Prayers from KY for Sgt. Nichols and his family.
Heavenly Father,
We call on You right now in a special way.
It is through Your power that Sgt. Nichols was created.
Every breath he takes, every morning he wakes, and
every moment of every hour, he lives under Your power.
Father, we ask You now to touch Sgt. Nichols with that same
power. For if You created him from nothing, You can
certainly recreate him.
Fill him with the healing power of Your Spirit. Cast out
anything that should not be in him.
Mend what is broken. Root out any unproductive cells.
Open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild any
damaged areas. Remove all inflammation and cleanse
any infection.
Let the warmth of Your healing love pass through his
body to make new any unhealthy areas so that his body
will function the way You created it to function.
And Father, restore him to full health in mind and in body
so that He may serve You the rest of his life.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
