Need Prayer for a Marine injured in Afghanistan

Post by bludaffodil »

I was just talking to a friend of mine on Facebook, when a friend of
hers told her about her son who had been injured in Afghanistan
this past Wednesday.

His name is Matt Ellis.  He is in his 20's.

While on a mission in Afghanistan, one of the trucks ran over a
buried IED.  Matt was thrown 12 feet in the air and then was
struck by another vehicle.

He has no feeling in his right arm and leg, suffered a severe concussion,
went into shock, has fractured several ribs, can't hear out of his
right ear AND has a hurt back.

Matt has been sent to 5 hospitals since Wednesday.  His Mom (Barbara) is
waiting to hear from the Marine Corps.  She is an absolute mess
right now and is so scared for her son.

I told my friend that I would add him to my church's prayer list
tomorrow.

I know that there are mighty prayer warriors on our boards, so I
wanted to add Matt's name here so you all can join us in praying
for him and his family.

Thank you so much,
Kathy

Almighty God, Matt is serving You and his country and now needs your healing touch. Restore him now to the health you have provided for him. I curse the enemy who has attempted to steal his life from him. I arrest any pain he may be in and command peace to infuse his body, in Jesus Name.

Thank you, Linda!  I knew there was someone on here that
would join me in praying for Matt.

His mom will be so appreciative.

God bless you,

Please keep us posted on his improvements as I know there will be many. My heart really goes out to our soldiers. I have several family memebers either active duty or veterans.

Someone wrote this and it is circulating on Facebook. It is my sentiments exactly.

Veteran is someone who at one point in their life wrote a blank check made payable to The United States of America, for an amount up to, and including their life. That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today, who no longer understand that fact! Copy and paste this if you are thankful for your freedom. Thank a Solider!

I will also be praying for Matt, and the other troupes in harms way.  Our God is more then able to protect each and every one of them.
