Kourtney Kardashian is finding comfort in the divine doctrine after suffering pregnancy complications!
The reality TV star, who is expecting her first child with Travis Barker, recently ended up in the hospital, receiving urgent fetal surgery to save her unborn son's life.
The dire situation sent her husband rushing home from his Blink-182 tour, leading to the postponement of the band's upcoming concerts. Following the ordeal, the Poosh founder seemingly reflected on the moment with an inspirational message.
Kourtney Kardashian Shares Powerful Reminder About God's Might Amid Her Fetal Scare
Shortly after addressing her hospitalization in an emotional post, the soon-to-be mother of four updated fans about her feelings. The 44-year-old expressed gratitude to God by sharing an important reminder about faith and dependence on the Lord's power.
The scriptures highlighted in her Instagram Story post featured words from John 15:5, Ephesians 6:10, and Genesis 1:26 – 27. Part of the snippet she shared addressed humans as God's image-bearers, who should frequently rely on him.
The sacred writing read: "However, I love you too much to withdraw the godlike privilege I bestowed on you as My image-bearer. Use your freedom wisely by relying on Me constantly. Thus, you enjoy My Presence and My Peace."
Kardashian seemed to imply that she could not have overcome her medical ordeal without divine intervention as seen in the empowering words from John 15:5. Part of the scripture stated: "If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing."
While the divine words from Ephesians 6:10 read: "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power." These powerful reminders about God appeared to be the Lemme health brand founder's appreciation for the successful fetal surgery that saved her unborn son's life.
As stated above, the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" alum's divine update came at the heels of her hospitalization. The reality star opened up about the scary event on her Instagram page, sharing a black-and-white picture of herself from the medical facility.
In the image, the TV personality was lying on the hospital bed while holding hands with her husband. The California native captioned the post with her gratitude to her loved ones for their support alongside the doctors who saved the first-ever Kravis baby.
“I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life. I am eternally grateful to my husband, who rushed to my side from tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock. And to my mom, thank you for holding my hand through this,” the socialite penned.
Kardashian confessed that after welcoming three children without complications, "rushing into urgent fetal surgery" was a horrifying experience she was unprepared for. “I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear,” the media personality admitted.
Fortunately, the "Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami" star was out of the woods, concluding that her "truest blessing" was leaving the hospital with her baby safe and sound in her stomach. Barker similarly celebrated the successful surgery on X, announcing the resumption of the Blink-182 band's tour.
The Drummer Sought Comfort In God Following His Family's Emergency
Before Kardashian revealed she had undergone fetal surgery, her husband raised concerns about their family's wellbeing with prayer room updates. On his Instagram Stories, the Blink-182 drummer shared several pictures taken from the holy venue.
These snaps, presumably taken before the "Meet the Barkers" star returned to the US, showed the outside and inside of the prayer room. There was a shot of a door with the praying symbol, a stained-glass window, and a blue banner with the words "Together We Pray."
The musician did not caption these pictures to explain his sudden prayer session. However, his band's official X page announced the cancelation of their concerts because of Barker's family emergency. Their message read:
"Due to an urgent family matter, Travis has had to return home to the States. The Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin shows are being postponed. More information in regards to his return to Europe and rescheduled dates will be provided as soon as available."
