More than 1.1. million people have liked Bieber's Instagram post and over 23,000 people have shared comments about the daily devotional's message:

Worship Me only. Whatever occupies your mind the most becomes your god. Worries, if indulged, develop into idols. Anxiety gains a life of it's own, parasitically infesting your mind. Break free from this bondage by affirming your trust in Me and refreshing yourself in My presence. What goes on in your mind is invisible, undetectable to other people. But I read your thoughts continually, searching for evidence of trust in Me, I rejoice when your mind turns towards Me. Guard your thoughts diligently; good thought-choices will keep you close to Me. Psalm 112:7; 1 Corinthians 13:11.

During an interview with Complex magazine last year, the 21-year-old said: "I just wanna honestly live like Jesus. Not be Jesus. ... I don't want that to come across weird."
