Justin Bieber shared a short message about his faith on Instagram on Saturday as his close friend Sean “Diddy” Combs continues to face criminal charges of sexual assault, abuse, sex trafficking and more horrific allegations.
“How can I truly believe that Jesus is with me?” Bieber, 30, asked on his Instagram Story. He then shared the following response: “Well for me Justin, it is [sic] It is simply His goodness that continues to convince me.
“Every time I thought he wouldn't do it [sic] It always appears to me, I'm convinced it is [sic] The patient, perfect presence that guides, directs, and leads me throughout the days of my life offers, heals, and restores all that the enemy has tried to destroy and steal.
The “Lonely” singer's message comes months after it was reported that Bieber was struggling with mental health issues following Combs' arrest in September.
In October, several sources close to Bieber told Us Weekly that he was “in a tough place mentally” due to his “history” with the Bad Boy Records founder, and dealing with the news of the allegations surrounding Combs was “difficult to process.”
Bieber's name has also been brought up on numerous occasions due to his past friendship with the “Last Night” rapper when he was just a teenager.
Another insider claimed that the “Never Say Never” hitmaker was “absolutely disgusted” by the sex crimes scandal involving Combs, and had been “advised” to publicly distance himself from the disgraced star.
Despite this, a third source claimed that the singer has been able to find solace in focusing on the positives in his life, including his newborn son, Jack Blues, who he welcomed with wife Hailey Bieber earlier this year.
“His happiness about being a father outweighs his worry about Diddy,” an insider said, again noting that the pop star wants “nothing to do” with Combs' legal drama.
“It's in his past, and that's where he wants to leave it,” the third source reportedly said.
Bieber's alleged mental health struggles became apparent earlier that month when he was seen looking very glum while leaving celebrity hotspot Chateau Marmont alone.
The Grammy winner looked deep in thought as he had a stern look on his face.
