Bieber Shrugs Off Mom's Prayers, Focuses on Ping Pong Injury
9 Oct
Summary
- Bieber's mom prayed for his healing, but he said he only needs healing for a "rolled pinky toe"
- Bieber has been promoting his new album "Swag II" which includes spiritual songs
- Bieber and wife Hailey are going strong, celebrating 7th wedding anniversary

As of October 2025, pop star Justin Bieber has responded to his mother Pattie Mallette's public prayer for his healing. In September, Mallette had posted on Instagram that she was "cheering" and praying for Bieber, asking God to break any "chains of fear, confusion, heaviness, and pain" and to "heal every wound" in her son's heart, mind, and body.
However, Bieber's response was somewhat lighthearted. Weeks after Mallette's impassioned prayer, Bieber replied that the "only thing I need healing from is my rolled pinky toe from playing ping pong." It remains unclear what specific issues Mallette was referring to in her prayer.
Bieber has been busy promoting his latest album "Swag II," which includes spiritual-themed songs like "Story of God" and "Everything Hallelujah." He has also been wearing a "Pray for Me" shirt in his music videos. Meanwhile, Bieber and his wife Hailey recently celebrated their 7th wedding anniversary in September, with a source saying their bond has only grown stronger since becoming parents to their son Jack Blues last year.
