Justin Bieber has turned to his faith for strength as his former friend and mentor, Sean “Diddy” Combs, faces severe allegations of sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking. The 30-year-old pop star shared a heartfelt message about his spiritual journey on Instagram, offering a glimpse into how his faith has sustained him during difficult times.
“How can I really believe Jesus is with me?” Bieber wrote on his Instagram Story. He followed with his answer: “Well, for me, Justin, its [sic] simply his goodness that keeps convincing me.”
Bieber’s message delved deeper, expressing how he has felt God’s presence in his life:
“Every time I thought he wouldnt [sic] show up for me, he always has. I’m convinced hes [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’s words come as Combs faces mounting legal troubles and disturbing allegations, leaving Bieber grappling with the fallout of their past relationship.
Sources have shared that Bieber has struggled to process the allegations against Combs, a man he once looked up to as a teen. In October, insiders revealed to Us Weekly that the news of Combs’ scandal had put Bieber “in a hard place mentally.”
“Justin is completely disgusted by what he’s heard and wants nothing to do with Diddy’s legal drama,” one source explained, adding that the singer has been advised to distance himself from the embattled music mogul publicly.
Bieber’s previous friendship with Combs has resurfaced in headlines, prompting the singer to focus on separating himself from that chapter of his life. “It’s in his past, and that’s where he wants to leave it,” another insider emphasized.
Despite the emotional toll, Bieber has found solace in his faith and his growing family. Earlier this year, he and his wife, Hailey Bieber, welcomed their first child, a son named Jack Blues. According to friends, fatherhood has been a source of joy and stability for the pop star.
“His happiness being a dad has outweighed his anxiety about Diddy,” an insider shared, highlighting how Bieber is focusing on the positives in his life.
This isn’t the first time Bieber has openly shared about his faith journey. Over the years, the Grammy-winning artist has spoken candidly about how his Christian beliefs have helped him navigate personal struggles, including mental health battles and the pressures of fame.
Bieber’s Instagram post reminds us of his desire to lean on God’s guidance during turbulent times. His message—rooted in hope, healing, and restoration—offers encouragement to fans and believers alike.
