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.
Prayers for a miracle for the young Sergeant.
Prayers for the complete recovery of this brave young Marine and for the consolation of his loving wife and family.
God, we beg You for this life, for his peace and comfort, for the doctors and nurses taking care of him, and for his restoration to the community of mankind.
In Christ’s most holy name, we pray.

prayers for Sgt Nichols.
Thank you for doing a prayer that perfectly covers the situation. May God have mercy on us all. My son has a little while to go yet, over there, and I worry a little.
By the way, your screen-name is not borrowed from the Don Rickles character, in a movie called kelly’s Heroes, is it? And also, coincidentally, just a few hours ago I heard that song, Redneck, White Socks, and Blue-Ribbon Beer at a wake that I was attending.
Dear Lord,
Hear our prayers.
Thank You for Sgt Nichols.
Please tough him with Your healing hand.
Your will be done.
In Jesus’ Holy name I pray this humble prayer.

A prayer said for this young Marine, his family, and the medical professionsls who care for him. He has already sacrificed so much, being on a third tour. May God bless him and his family with a long and joyous life after recovering from these injuries.
We believe You have spared this fine young man's life for a purpose, and now we bring Samuel Nichols before You and pray that all Your purposes will be fulfilled. We ask boldly for complete and lasting healing for him, that he may live a life of service and walk in health all of his days. Lord, we come together with other believers across this nation to proclaim Your greatness and Your faithfulness to all who call You Lord. You commanded Your angels to keep charge over this young man, and we ask You now to restore him completely for the glory and praise of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whose Name we pray. Amen.
