\"\"<\/a>For those who are fans of Justin Bieber, they know that he has had an ongoing battle with anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n

Bieber is using his social media platform to talk not only about his anxiety but also how God helps him cope.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t stop fighting the battle \u2013 the battle is already won,\u201d he shared with his fans on Instagram.<\/p>\n

Bieber, quoting 2 Timothy 1:7 said, \u201cFight for what you love and who you love don\u2019t let fear and anxiety win\u2026God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power love and of a sound mind!\u201d<\/p>\n

He then turned to Jesus in his Instagram post.<\/p>\n

\u201cJesus has given me freedom and the pursuit of getting to know his character is never ending. God\u2019s character never changes \u2013 he is the same yesterday now and forever. He is always good! I won\u2019t be afraid to be vulnerable before him.. his power is made strong in our weakness. God isn\u2019t afraid of your pain and your brokenness he actually welcomes it. Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest! these are words from Jesus!\u201d<\/p>\n

His hope is for his fans to put their hope in Jesus as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is hope and it\u2019s in him!! He loves and cares for you! For God so loved the world that he gave his only son so that whoever believes him won\u2019t die but have eternal life! You are that whoever and he accepts you as you are!! He loves and forgives you and welcomes you into his arms every time you mess. He is a perfect and loving God who adores you!\u201d<\/p>\n

Bieber recently reached out to his fans asking them to pray for him.<\/p>\n

In an emotionally charged Instagram post, Justin Bieber shared that he\u2019s in the midst of the \u201cmost human season I\u2019ve ever been in,\u201d and is asking his fans for prayers during this rough period.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust wanted to keep you guys updated a little bit hopefully what I\u2019m going through will resonate with you guys,\u201d Bieber captioned in a picture of himself praying with manager Scooter Braun and Kanye West. \u201cBeen struggling a lot. Just feeling super disconnected and weird.\u201d<\/p>\n
