Justin Bieber shared a deeply personal message about his faith on Instagram this past Saturday, amidst the ongoing legal issues surrounding his former friend, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. The singer posted a thought-provoking question on his Instagram Story, asking, “How can I really believe Jesus is with me?”
Bieber then responded with an emotional answer: “Well for me Justin, it’s [sic] simply his goodness that keeps convincing me. Every time I thought he wouldn’t [sic] show up for me he always has, I am convinced his [sic] the perfect patient presence that guides, directs, and leads me all the days of my life providing, healing, restoring all that the enemy tried to destroy and steal.”
This reflection on his faith comes months after reports surfaced about Bieber’s struggles with his mental health, which were linked to the ongoing legal troubles of his former friend Combs. Sources close to Bieber told Us Weekly in October that he had been in a difficult place mentally due to his past relationship with the music mogul.
The allegations surrounding Combs have reportedly been hard for Bieber to process. “It’s hard to process,” an insider shared with Page Six. Another source claimed Bieber was “utterly disgusted” by the accusations and had been advised to distance himself from Combs in the public eye.
Bieber and Combs shared a close friendship during the early years of Bieber’s career, which has brought Bieber’s name into the conversation surrounding Combs’ legal issues. However, Bieber is reportedly eager to leave that chapter behind.
In recent months, the “Baby” singer has found solace in focusing on the positive aspects of his life, particularly his role as a father. Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber, welcomed their son, Jack Blues, earlier this year, which has brought the singer immense joy. “His happiness being a dad has outweighed his anxiety about Diddy,” a source told the magazine. “It’s in his past, and that’s where he wants to leave it.”
As Bieber continues to move forward, his faith and family have become central to his healing and personal growth.
