The prime minister offers a prayer for the national cabinet and says his faith gives him 'enormous encouragement'

Scott Morrison has offered a prayer for the national cabinet to stay "strong and united" and committed the Australian nation to God during times of "great need and suffering" as it responds to Covid-19.

The prayer is contained in a video, first published by Eternity News but later removed and republished by Queensland Parents for Secular State Schools, in which Morrison explains his faith gives him "enormous encouragement" in how to respond to the crisis.
