Scott Morrison has revealed he is praying for the state and territory leaders during the coronavirus pandemic, describing the crisis as a time of "great need and suffering" in an online video.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison and his wife Jenny singing during an an Easter Sunday service at his Horizon Church during the 2019 federal election campaign.Mr Morrison, an evangelical Christian who attends the Horizon Church in his local Shire electorate, says in the message his faith gives him "enormous encouragement" in how to respond to the global pandemic.
Mr Morrison also prayed for “colleagues in parliamentary roles, it doesn’t matter what party they’re from” as well as the national cabinet, including state premiers. He said his decisions were based on "very strong advice and expertise" and "the best judgment I can", but his faith gives him "enormous encouragement" in how he makes those decisions and tries to do the best way he can."The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; and saves those who are crushed in spirit," he said.
Prayer works we all need to be praying
How wonderful 🤦♀️
ScottMorrisonMP is a devout Christian & I would rather a man of faith, compassion & morality leading us at this catastrophic time! Add to that, he’s a former Treasurer so he knows about’the books’ so we’re in very good hands. He’s formed this Nat Cab bringing everyone together!
OMG! WHYYYYYY? !!!!!!and that’s our Prime Minister! Not one with a 😷 on either! Just gone from bad to worse in my book! Anyway! Yup stay at home! All social places closed—— except for some. But they’re praying for us, ay!
God will not save you or the non-believers. The majority of Australians who you purport to represent are secular. Medicine and science are the only 'gods' that can save us.
Very irresponsible.
You used to be a newspaper didn’t you?
Pentecostal theology all of history & future is in the control of God, from creation to Fall of humanity in the Garden of Eden, to redemption of all in the crucifixion & resurrection of Jesus Christ. Will lead to the 2nd coming of Christ, end of the world and the final judgement.
OMG so GOD is now running the country. We are well & truly stuffed as ScottMorrisonMP sorry to break it to you, THERE IS NO GOD. Man open your eyes, keep your faith to yourself & don't dump this shit onto the public, especially when running a country! WTF?
Leading us ull to the doors of heaven Someone remove this maniac
What happened to the 1.5 metre separation rules ? Is this an old photo ? If a current photo, he should be fined or placed under arrest with the whole bunch of them.
Needs more than faith to give this man a reality check!
Is this a pre-text to his next Hawaiian holiday?
Everyone has to have something or someone to love and our PM has his faith. So what dropkick😠 I use to have faith as a Tike until I witnessed all the going-on's of the catholic church with all their pedophile brothers and priests.. Now its just immediate family😟 Get a life😠👎
Media creating a divide. We all know he’s Christian. So what.
We talk about returning to the normal life, returning, returning.... but the only thing we could do is Returning to the God ways and keeping the 10 Commandments. God bless Australia 🇦🇺
Well obviously this doesn't work Scumo
They should be fined for not keeping the distances.

He needs to keep his religion far, far away from any politics.
So PM Morrison puts his faith in miracles not science. What can go wrong? Doesn't he realise he's just talking to himself? 🤔
praying isnt doing much for the hundreds of thousands getting sick. This parliamentary petition needs answered urgently -
Everyone has the right to say that, but then stop preventing them from doing so. Just bcos you’re PM doesnt give you permission to post bullshit and attend church! LOL!
Sickening
🙄
Then maybe he should have been a pastor we need logic, rationale and reality in this situation. This isn't appropriate.
Please do not pray for me. I consider that an insult
Hhhmmnn guided by a naughty rebellious carpenters son. Interesting. coronavirusaus
Oh no
We could possibly do with a few loaves and fishes at present.
They believe they are protected so this is not reassuring.
We looked to God for a while Scotty---but His mates kept abusing children whenever we turned our backs..
This is a disgrace. Religion is a personal thing. Last time I checked, we were a SECULAR nation, with separation of Church and State.
Christian bad, Muslim good.........
He's not nor his church are Christian.
This is even less newsworthy than Norman swan having his nostrils swabbed
Didn't seem to work in the past . AustraliaOnFire GreatBarrierReef bleaching 🙄
That’s nice. Does that come with some ventilators, & PPE for our rural colleagues...?
Bibble says Curing Every Disease “Jesus went to every town and village..... healed every kind of disease and sickness.” Matthew 9:35 Matthew 9:20-22 Mark 2:9-12 Luke 17:12-16 John 9:6-7 Bibble says Matthew 7:7 'Ask and it will be given to you'. Ok Cure the virus thanx Jesus
Is God talking to him? He should write that stuff down. Maybe on some gold plates. Hopefully we’ll all be able to read it.
Sounds like trump
Disgusting. He is so open about his very specific brand of belief that it makes it too easy to have no faith in him AT ALL.
Whatever happened to separation from church and state?
Scott Morrison prays for the country, abbot wore budgie smugglers, Gillard had an interesting voice, Turnbull was nothing much special.... and so on. People have personalities, interests and actions different from everyone else. But Australians will complain no matter what!
Just trying to work out social distancing and indoor gathering restriction means. I'm confused now.
I bloody well hope this is an old photo!
don't care if ScottyFromHillsong is religious thats his business. I do care that he is blurring the lines between Religion & State. We R a SECULAR nation, its unacceptable he made a pastoral gospel vid from his PM office as the PM, asking people 2 pray over 'the country I rule'
Keep social distance! Better to stay at home PM!
So Australia's being governed by a fruitcake who believes in a sky fairy NO ONE on earth has ever seem or met. CriminallyInsane
What a dickhead we have as the leader our nation. Seriously
Oh man we are so screwed
Prefer it if he just listened the experts.
Lord, save me from your followers!
I'll not accept 'prayers' from ScottyfromMarketing. He is only concerned that he, his family, congregation, political party & fiscal supporters like the mining industry will keep their fossil fuelled privileges until they all get transported to 'heaven' in the great 'rapture'.
Gee that’ll help
Each to their own, if it helps get him through that’s fine with me.
I hope we have enough bread 🥖 to feed us all , as I ain’t relying on Moses to part nothing 🤦♂️
Couldn't care less if he's a jehovah's witness or a mormon . His faith isn't going to save anyone
Religious psycho nutjob alert.
KaushalyaFem Take him now. Please
KaushalyaFem Pentacostals are especially gullible fools. Unfit to lead
Godmod on Scott Morrison. Anytime better than the Labor rort
Great
What a cunt.
Not understanding this pandemic crisis in the reality is concerning! It's time to reconnect with Australians in the real world, listen & follow advice from medical professionals & scientific evidence, act & respond accordingly 🤨why doesn't he listen?! drkerrynphelps 🤷🏽♀️😡
Less religious nut jobs in politics please 👍🏼
I am offended by that. How dare he “pray” on my behalf.
Not my PM This is 2020 not 1020 Facts not faith Science not BS
KaushalyaFem OMG
Preach in your own time and privately. I don’t want to hear this crap anymore.
Can I swear here without getting banned?
Can't half tell a liberal is the chairman of Nine (Age/SMH). RIP Fairfax Media. coronavirusaus coronavirusaustralia ScottyFromHillsong ScottyFromMarketing CrimeMinister auspol AuspolSoCorrupt scottyfommarketing
I’m sure this is April fools prank!! AprilFoolsDay Covid_19australia
We can now all go to sleep tonight knowing that when we wake up in the morning. Miracle Warning! The sun will rise in the East! Gosh ain’t Sol amazing.
Good for him. It’s important to have something to give hope and comfort in difficult times. Let’s respect each other’s beliefs and differences
Jfc
Didn’t Jesus say don’t be like the hypocrites who pray in public? ScottyFromHillsong, Jesus sees you as a hypocrite. Don’t take my word for it, read it in your Bible, Matthew 6:5 ScottyFromMarketing
If He works for Scomo I’m glad. His fortitude is really admirable in the face of all the hateful comments directed at him daily
For one day ScottMorrisonMP gave a glimpse of bring a Prime Minister with the jobs package and being consultative and then.....nekminit....reverts to his true self - a god bothering nut job
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
hope this is file photo
Why would you post such crap. More important things to worry about !
Oh fuck off
Lets not be to nasty , as it is SCOMO.
We need, facts, specialists, medical practitioners and so should the PM.
Abbott the Mad Monk, ScoMo the evangelist..... Why don’t you grow a pair and label a Jew or Muslim politician in the same manner, instead of always picking low hanging fruit. Cowards
Thoughts and prayers aren’t saving lives. Shut us down! Stay at home people! We share collective responsibility to STAY the FUCK at HOME!!!! shutdownaustralia StayHomeAustralia forfucksake
same here you should try it
Rather have scientists than god just saying
Oh god
So all Christians are shit now Guess who will win the next election 😋
We are not encouraged OR reassured by that.
Thoughts and prayers are really going to help us right now 😂
And that’s why we’re all stuffed
