LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the wake of Sean 'Diddy' Combs’ ongoing legal troubles, pop star Justin Bieber took to social media to share a deeply personal message about his faith.

Justin Bieber's message comes amid a storm of criminal allegations against Sean 'Diddy' Combs, which include accusations of assault, abuse, and trafficking.
In his Instagram Story, Bieber posed a reflective question: "How can I really believe Jesus is with me?"
He answered his own query by sharing a heartfelt response, saying, “Well for me Justin, its [sic] simply his goodness that keeps convincing me.”
Bieber explained that throughout his life, especially in moments when he felt abandoned, God’s presence had remained steadfast.
He wrote, “Every time I thought he wouldnt [sic] show up for me he always has, Im 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 'Lonely' singer's message comes months after reports indicated that Bieber had been struggling with his mental health following Combs' arrest in September.
Justin Bieber’s reported mental health struggles linked to Diddy's legal drama
In October, multiple sources close to Justin Bieber told Us Weekly that he was "in a hard place mentally" due to his "history" with the Bad Boy Records founder and that processing the allegations surrounding Sean Combs had been "hard to process."
Bieber’s name has also been mentioned several times because of his past friendship with the 'Last Night' rapper when he was still a teenager, as per Page Six.
Another insider claimed that the 'Never Say Never' hitmaker was “completely disgusted” by Diddy's alleged crimes and had been “advised” to publicly distance himself from the disgraced star.
However, a third source stated that the singer had found comfort in focusing on the positive aspects of his life, such as his newborn son, Jack Blues, whom he welcomed with his wife Hailey Bieber earlier this year.
“His happiness being a dad has outweighed his anxiety about Diddy,” the insider said, adding that the pop star wants “nothing to do” with Combs’ legal troubles.
“It’s in his past, and that’s where he wants to leave it,” the third source reportedly claimed.
Bieber's reported mental health struggles were evident earlier that month when he was seen leaving the celebrity hotspot Chateau Marmont alone, appearing quite downcast. The Grammy winner seemed lost in thought, wearing a serious expression on his face.
