Justin Bieber Playfully Shuts Down Mom Pattie Mallette’s Public Prayer for His ‘Healing’
Justin Bieber isn’t looking for prayers about his well-being, not even from his mom.
A couple of weeks after Pattie Mallette posted a message on Instagram calling on God to “heal every wound” in her famous son’s “heart, mind and body,” the pop star left a comment that basically boils down to “Thanks, but no thanks.”

“Only thing I need healing from is my rolled pinky toe from playing ping pong,” Bieber wrote recently under his mom’s post.
Mallette had also shared a carousel of black-and-white stills from her son’s “Speed Demon” music video, in which he wears, ironically, a T-shirt that says “Pray for me” on the back. “We’re cheering you on and praying for you always Justin,” her full message read. “I declare freedom, strength, clarity and healing over you Justin. Every chain of fear, confusion, heaviness, and pain — be broken in Jesus’ name.”
“Holy Spirit, surround him with TRUTH, LIGHT, and PROTECTION,” she’d continued. “HEAL EVERY WOUND in his heart, mind and body, seen and unseen, restore what’s been stolen, and cover him in WHOLENESS … 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.”
It’s unclear why Mallette asked for prayers for her son, but both Bieber and his mom have long been open about their faith. This year in particular, the singer has posted a number of musings on spirituality, including one in July in which he thanked Jesus for “his patience with me.”
“I can be extremely selfish and impatient yet Jesus always has his arms open toward me,” Bieber added at the time.
The month prior, he wrote on Instagram that despite feeling “broken” and struggling with “anger issues,” “Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others.”
Bieber has since dropped not one, but two albums: Swag and Swag II. The former marked his first LP in four years and reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
He’s now gearing up to headline Coachella in 2026 alongside Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G.
