On Saturday, Justin Bieber took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message about his faith amid the ongoing legal issues involving 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?”
In response to his query, Bieber shared 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 he’s [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.”
The singer posted on Instagram months after reports revealed he struggled with mental health challenges following Combs’ September arrest. Sources close to Bieber told *Us Weekly* in October that he faced a difficult mental state due to his past relationship with Combs.
Bieber and Combs shared a close friendship during the early years of Bieber’s career, which has now linked Bieber’s name to Combs’ legal troubles. However, Bieber reportedly wants to leave his connection with Combs behind.
The “Baby” singer has found comfort in focusing on the positive aspects of his life. He and his wife, Hailey Bieber, recently welcomed their son, Jack Blues, earlier this year. Becoming a father has brought joy to Bieber and helped him shift his focus away from Combs’ legal drama.
“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.”
