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.
Thank you for your update. I will keep Sgt Nichols in my prayers. The Word of the Lord accomplishes that for which it is sent.
It sounds like Sgt. Nichols needs some ‘special angels’. I have a few extra, and am sending them to him, as we speak.
I read every prayer chain on FR, and pray immediately for the person needing prayers. I also send my ‘extra’ angels to every one in need. Just because I don’t post on every prayer chain doesn’t mean I don’t pray or send angels. Just think. There could be thousands like me - praying for healing, and sending extra angels!
Blessings to your family, Sgt. Nichols! (Angels and prayers included!!)
