Justin Bieber Thanks Jesus for Having ‘Patience’ With Him: ‘I Can Be Extremely Selfish’

What’s more swag than showing gratitude and enjoying nature? On Tuesday (July 29), Justin Bieber did both.

In a post on X, the pop star shared photos of himself taking a walk on a tree-lined path and wrote, “Let’s have a good day, let’s go outside.”

“Thanking Jesus for his patience with me this morning,” continued Bieber. “I can be extremely selfish and impatient yet Jesus always has his arms open toward me.”

The update comes about two weeks after the Canadian pop superstar surprise-dropped Swag — complete with 21 R&B-infused tracks — four years after he last released an album. The project debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and earned Bieber his biggest streaming week ever.

At his side throughout the album’s rollout has been Hailey Bieber, who is married to the Grammy winner. The model appeared alongside her husband on promotional billboards for Swag — along with their young son, Jack Blues — and shared a passionate kiss with Justin at a recent listening party. And when the LP first dropped, she showed support by writing on her Instagram Story, “Is it finally clocking to you f—ing losers?” — a reference to the singer’s viral “standing on business” meme.

Justin’s latest post is far from the first time he’s taken some time for self reflection on social media in recent months. In June, he posted about being “broken” and having “anger issues,” writing, “Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others.”

Before that, he slammed the “audacity” of haters who tell people what they “should or shouldn’t have,” declaring, “God decides what we deserve.” Two months prior, he opened up about feeling like he was “drowning” in “hate” and struggling with feeling “unworthy.”

It’s unclear what Justin’s next moves will be after Swag, whether it’s performing in support of the album or spending more time outdoors and typing out additional introspective posts. Sources did, however, recently tell Billboard that he still has more music left to release, possibly in the form of a more pop-inspired album.
