Justin Bieber is sharing his thoughts online. The singer had some words for his mom, Pattie Mallette, who shared a lengthy post on social media a couple of weeks ago.
In the post, Mallette shared various photos of Bieber and wrote that she was praying for him. In the lengthy caption, Mallette made allusions to her faith and asked God to protect Bieber and provide him with healing.
"I declare freedom, strength, clarity, and healing over you Justin," Mallette wrote. "Every chain of fear, confusion, heaviness, and pain— be broken in Jesus' name. Holy Spirit, surround him with TRUTH, LIGHT, and PROTECTION. HEAL EVERY WOUND in his heart, mind and body, seen and unseen, restore what's been stolen, and cover him in WHOLENESS."
"Fill him to OVERFLOWING with Your LOVE and COMFORT," she wrote. "Continue to raise him up as a voice for Your Kingdom, unshaken and on fire for You Lord. Silence every voice that doesn't come from You, and let his life be a bold witness of Your power, love, and healing grace. Say amen if you agree."
Bieber replied weeks after Mallette first made the post. "Only thing I need healing from is my rolled pinky toe from playing ping pong," he wrote.
Justin's relationship with his mother
Bieber is the son of Mallette and Jeremy Bieber, who had him when they were 18 years old. Bieber has opened up about his relationship with his parents over the years, revealing that they've had their ups and downs.
In 2015, Bieber revealed that his relationship with his mother was "non-existent" for about two years. "I was distant because I was ashamed," he said in an interview with Billboard. "I never wanted my mom to be disappointed in me, and I knew she was. We spent some time not talking, so it takes time to rebuild that trust. She's living in Hawaii now, so it's hard, but getting better. She's an amazing woman and I love her."
It appears like the relationship is in a better place now, with Bieber sharing a sweet tribute on social media this year, celebrating Mallette's 50th birthday. "50 MOMMMMMMMM. luv that I get to be ur son. Happy bday," he wrote, sharing a throwback photo of her.
