The singer continues to be transparent about his Christian faith, which he has revealed takes just as much work as the other relationships in his life. And even though Bieber said he doesn't always feel God's presence, he explained that it's not a reason to stop working on his spiritual growth.
"I don't always feel God's presence, I feel it may be human distractions or maybe I'm letting lies [deter] me from accessing it. Regardless it doesn't stop me from seeking," Bieber posted in an Instagram post earlier this month. "Although it is frustrating I'm reminded that relationships take work, even with God!"
The singer who rose to stardom as a YouTube sensation at the age of 13, believes God has made him a better person.
"I feel like that's why I have a relationship with Him, because I need it. I suck by myself," he said in a GQ magazine interview back in February. "Like, when I'm by myself and I feel like I have nothing to lean on? Terrible. Terrible person."
Although he has admitted to doing "stupid" things in his life, the "Sorry" singer said his actions would be worse without God.
"If I was doing this on my own, I would constantly be doing things that are, I mean, I still am doing things that are stupid, but it just gives me some sort of hope and something to grasp onto," Bieber said. ... "A feeling of security, and a feeling of being wanted, and a feeling of being desired, and I feel like we can only get so much of that from a human.
"I've had people that burned me so many times," Bieber told GQ. "If we invest everything we have in a human, we're gonna get broken."
He previously spoke to the Mirror about the need to continue to grow spiritually, adding, "There's so much I need to work on. And I'm still getting days where I'm depressed and upset," he revealed. "But I know that I'm not where I used to be. So that really keeps me motivated."
