Pattie Mallette Prays for Justin Bieber’s Healing in Rare Instagram Post

Justin Bieber’s mother, Pattie Mallette, issued a rare Instagram message on Monday, Sept. 22, 2025, in which she prayed for the singer’s healing and strength. The post accompanied a carousel of photos from Bieber’s music video for his new song “Speed Demon,” in which the pop star wears a shirt with the phrase “Pray for Me.”

“We’re cheering you on and praying for you always Justin,” Mallette, 50, wrote in the caption, followed by a longer prayer that outlined a request for spiritual protection and renewal. “I declare freedom, strength, clarity, and healing over you Justin,” the memoir author added. “Every chain of fear, confusion, heaviness, and pain – be broken in Jesus’ name.” After asking the “Holy Spirit” to “surround” her son with “truth, light, and protection” and to “heal every wound in his heart,” she asked that Jesus “restore what’s been stolen” from Bieber and “cover him in wholeness.” “Fill him to OVERFLOWING with Your LOVE and COMFORT,” she continued. “Continue to raise him up as a voice for Your Kingdom, unshaken and on fire for You Lord.” Pattie Mallette concluded with: “Silence every voice that doesn’t come from You, and let his life be a bold witness of Your power, love, and healing grace,” adding, “Say amen if you agree.”

The public reaction split between fans offering prayers and others asking about Bieber’s well-being. Some supporters praised the message and offered encouragement, while others suggested the star may have been facing personal or financial challenges. The Post reached out to Bieber’s representative for comment.

Bieber’s family history and past public comments provide context for the family dynamic. The singer and Mallette welcomed Bieber in 1994 when they were both 18. The couple did not marry and separated soon after his birth, according to People. Bieber later reflected on their relationship, telling Billboard in 2015 that he had become distant out of shame and that their reunion had been gradual. “We spent some time not talking, so it takes time to rebuild that trust,” he said at the time, noting that his mother was living in Hawaii and that she remained an important influence.

As Bieber’s career has evolved, so has his public narrative. He and Hailey Bieber posted together Saturday after Mallette’s message, sharing moments with their young son during the Coachella festival weekend. Earlier in September it was announced that Bieber would headline Coachella the following year, joining an lineup that included Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, and Anyma. Industry observers described the negotiation as a major milestone in Bieber’s return to the live stage, with insiders estimating a seven-figure-plus payday for the two performances.

The return to Coachella follows a year marked by a carefully staged comeback. Bieber released the album Swag in July, accompanied by renewed media attention around his personal and artistic evolution. A surprise follow-up, Swag II, arrived Sept. 5, with several tracks addressing the complexities of his marriage to Hailey and the pressures of fame. The public discussion surrounding Bieber’s health and personal life has often intersected with his music, fueling a broader conversation about mental health in the entertainment industry. Bieber’s team has emphasized resilience and consistency as part of the artist’s ongoing efforts to re-establish himself as a leading figure in pop music.

The Bieber family narrative remains closely watched by fans and media alike, with attention focusing on how personal experiences shape the artist’s public work. While Mallette’s prayer post is a private, faith-based message, Bieber’s subsequent public appearances and performances at Coachella will test how his personal journey intersects with his professional trajectory in the months ahead.

As Bieber continues to chart a high-profile return to the spotlight, observers will watch for how his current creative projects, health, and family dynamics influence his ability to connect with fans and maintain the momentum generated by his recent releases and festival plans.
