Sadie Robertson is sharing that God still performs miracles today, even in the middle of the worst situations.
In a post on social media, Robertson detailed the harrowing experience her family had when her daughter Kit began choking on a snack, which led Robertson to perform CPR and her mom to call 911.
In the post, Robertson wrote:
Vulnerable post here. I’m starting with that because this feels hard to talk about in my real life, much less on social media, but I do feel it is worth sharing because I truly believe awareness of it will save lives…
I’m currently walking through the waves of anxiety from the trauma of the situation, and the immense gratitude for the miracle of Kit’s full recovery and God’s undeniable hand on this situation. I’ve been off social media and having my family and amazing team help me on here for some time while I work on having a sound mind. With all that said, I want to share to help raise awareness…
Kit was sitting in her high chair this week, eating a snack while I was finishing up dinner prep, when she began to choke. Within seconds, you could tell the severity of the situation. My mom pulled her from the high chair and placed my girl into my arms just as she stopped breathing.
Everyone went into action and into prayer. Mom called 911, I started CPR, and everyone began to pray out loud and move the other kids downstairs.
She also shared that she desires to be prepared at all times and had watched videos in the past on how to handle this kind of situation in hopes she would never have to.
I am one of those people who likes to be prepared for all situations, so I’ve watched several videos while hoping and praying I would never have to use this knowledge. I can only explain it now like my body just knew what to do. I felt God’s Spirit guiding me, partnering with me in what I had learned and seen. I remember saying out loud, “what do I do?” and then immediately started doing it and declaring life.
After following protocol for a baby choking and doing CPR, Kit miraculously coughed and began to breathe, just as the paramedics arrived… it was truly terrifying, but God.
I rode in the back of the ambulance with my girl, still afraid, but praising God.
Christian drove behind, following us, and told me there was a rainbow over the ambulance the whole way there. We stayed the night for observation, but she charmed the nurses just a few hours later and is now perfectly healthy, happy, and brightening everyone’s day!

Ultimately, Robertson decided to share this story in hopes that it could bring hope to others in an emergency.
Sharing this as a testimony, and also as an encouragement for everyone to learn what to do in the case of an emergency. It happened SO fast, and I’m so thankful I was able to go straight into action!
We know that God has our children in His hands – we are not in control of our children’s breath or even of our own. We can’t live in a state of fear… we have to trust God in all of it. And also, preparation and knowledge in the spiritual and physical sense can be a gift that you can give yourself and your family! Please join us in thanking God for this miracle!
In a moment that could have ended in heartbreak, heaven intervened.
What began as an ordinary evening quickly spiraled into every parent’s worst nightmare—but it didn’t end there. Because even in the suffocating grip of fear, even as panic filled the room and time seemed to stand still, the presence of God moved.
Not quietly. Not distantly. But powerfully, personally and unmistakably.
This is the reminder the body of Christ needs right now: God is not absent in crisis—He is active in it.
And isn’t that how God so often works?
Right in the middle of darkness. Right in the middle of fear. Right in the moment when everything feels out of control.
He shows up.
This testimony stands as more than a story—it is a declaration. A declaration that miracles have not ceased. That God still breathes life into impossible situations. That He still covers, protects and responds to the cries of His people.
In a world filled with uncertainty, trauma and sudden crises, believers are called not to live in fear, but in faith. To be prepared, yes—but also to remain anchored in the unshakable truth that God is sovereign over every breath we take.
Because the same God who moved in that moment is the same God who is moving today.
And He is still doing the miraculous.
