Prayer Request - Gravely Injured Marine Sergeant [Update at Post 439]

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.
"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

The youtube video is beautiful.It mentions the power of prayer and miracles. I have seen the power of prayer and the miracles from the power of prayer. I am praying for a miracle for Sam. I know miracles happen.

Thank you for the update. I watched the video of Sam and Erin and cried. It is so beautiful. I believe that Christ knows what is best and I think that he is maybe keeping Sam in a coma for him to heal enough while he is there. I pray that when he does awake that he will be on a path to complete recovery. My prayers also for Erin to stay strong as she is there for Sam. What a beautiful couple.

HE has heard the prayers of many of HIS obediant children. If it pleases HIM, this Sargeant shall recover and live a usefull and most probably usefull life. It is in HIS almighty hands.
As we understand in the quiet recess of our hearts, HE is a merciful God. HIS will be done.

VERY special prayers going up!!!
