Sgt. Nichols Update 3: August 16, 2007
Dear FRiends,
Sending a big thank you to you who have signed on since our last update, and to all of the prayer warriors who have already been here to lift up Sgt. Nichols and family.
We continue to pray for Sam Nichols' recovery. He is still in a coma, although his wife Erin sees new movements in his face and his uninjured leg. Doctors were going to operate on his injured arm this week, but have delayed because he was running a temperature and having some infection and other reactions to the treatments. But Sam's breathing on his own remains strong, so that his endotracheal tube has been removed praise God!
Last Sunday was Sam's birthday, on which he actually turned 23 he was just shy of his 23rd birthday when wounded. His mother and brother were there with Sam and Erin. Sam's mom brought a cake that was shared with the medical staff. Other friends living or stationed on the east coast have been coming by or calling, and the numerous prayer chains originated by his family and their congregations on the west coast are buzzing.
Very dear FR prayer warriors, let's lift this family up tonight and tomorrow especially, and every time you pray until we update again.
Precious Lord,
We praise Your eternal goodness, grace and generous provision for Sam Nichols, as well as all Your servants here in earnest prayer for him and his family.
We thank you, precious Lord, for the visible evidence of improvements in Sam's breathing and responses, and we thank you in advance for the invisible workings of the Spirit in every fiber of Sam's being.
We plead the blood of the Lamb over this man's mind, his heart, his body, his soul, his wife and family, and the men he left behind in combat. Fill them, Lord, with complete faith in You to turn this situation miraculously to Your purposes.
We thank you, Father, for the understanding minds and dedicated hearts of Sam's medical team. Guide each of them, we pray, in every decision, large or small.
Whether Sam rests or whether he awakes; whether he feels pain or is shielded from pain; whether he is aware or asleep in order to heal; we trust that Your Providence, Your headship, Your direction and Your wisdom pervade every aspect of Sam's care, through the never-failing presence of the Holy Spirit.
We ask for strength and the peace that passes understanding for Sam's wife, his mother, his father, his uncle, and every other person whose heart is in constant prayer for Sam.
We thank you for the mysterious chain of connections among Your faithful that has brought together Sam's family, friends, fellow Marines and prayer warriors across the nation and around the globe. Attune us as one congregation, Lord, to keep Sam covered in prayer around the clock.
In the Name above all names, Jesus Christ, we pray,
Amen!
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time:
also he hath set the world in their heart,
so that no man can find out
the work that God maketh
from the beginning to the end.
Ecclesiates 3:11
