Justin Bieber shares cryptic quote about faith wobbling in wake of Diddy drama
Justin Bieber has shared his insight into how he thinks when his faith falters – and how he maintains his faith in Christ.
The 30-year-old pop star has long been open about his fervent Christianity and has had several tattoos with religious themes.
He became a father this year when his wife Hailey Bieber, also a devout Christian, gave birth to their first-born son Jack Blues in August.
The past year has also seen a slew of sex crime allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs, 55, who was Bieber’s mentor when the younger artist was a teenager. Diddy has strongly denied the allegations against him.
As he prepares to say goodbye to 2024, Justin shared a reflective post on his Insta Stories about the way he maintains his religious beliefs.
He posted a meme that began with the question, “How can I really believe that Jesus is with me?” provide the backdrop for an inspiring quote.

“For me, Justin,” begins the long answer: “it’s just his goodness that continues to convince me [sic].
‘Every time I thought he wouldn’t show up for me, that has always been the case, I am convinced that he is the perfect patient presence that accompanies, guides and guides me all the days of my life and provides everything, heals and restores what the enemy tried to destroy and steal. [sic].’
To add a dose of humor to the meme, the image features South Park character Eric Cartman saying, “I truly believe.”
Justin and Hailey joyfully announced on August 22 that they had welcomed their firstborn son Jack Blues into the world after tying the knot in 2018.
The following month, Diddy was arrested and charged with sex trafficking, extortion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He served as a mentor to Justin when he was in his teens.
Diddy is 24 years older than Justin and videos of Justin – then 15 years old – have surfaced online in which Diddy documents his ’48 hours’ stay with the singer.
In the resurfaced clip, Diddy stands next to teenager Justin and tells the camera, “He has 48 hours with Diddy, where we hang out and what we do we can’t really reveal.”

Diddy continued, “But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream. I was given custody of him. He signed with Usher and I had legal custody of him [Bieber] but for the next 48 hours he’s with me and we’re going crazy.’
In the clip, Justin is seen smiling and looking up at Diddy as he speaks, adding comments like “yeah” and “totally crazy.”
Fans called the clip “disturbing” and “creepy,” adding that “these videos need to resurface to expose P Diddy’s disturbing behavior around 15-year-old Justin Bieber.”
Khloe Kardashian recalled crossing paths with Justin Bieber at one of Diddy’s star-studded bashes, where she revealed that “half the guests were naked.”
The reality star, 40, made the comments on a 2014 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which resurfaced in the wake of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest on sex trafficking charges.

In 2019, Justin reflected on the dark parts of his life, growing up in the spotlight.

Justin said he was “using drugs heavily” and “abusing all my relationships” at age 19, which he shared on his Instagram in 2019.
‘I became resentful, disrespectful to women and angry. “I became distant from everyone who loved me and hid behind the shell of a person I had become,” he wrote.

A source recently told DailyMail.com that Justin was “thrown” by the allegations against Diddy and “isn’t willing to process or discuss it, so he has kept his mouth shut.”
