Scott Morrison has revealed his 'wonderful family' and 'strong personal faith' keep him from getting too stressed while running the country. The Prime Minister, 53, is a devout Pentecostal who started dating his wife Jenny in year 12 after they met at the Waverley Gospel Chapel youth group in eastern Sydney. In an interview on KIIS FM radio on Monday morning, Mr Morrison said his faith allowed him to cope with the stress of managing the Covid-19 pandemic.

You seem to be coping pretty well, have you got a good stress level? You must have an amazing stress level?' Mr Morrison replied: 'Well, that's the same whether it's Covid or anything else, that's the job of the Prime Minister, that's what you sign up for. 'I've got a wonderful family and, people probably know, I've got a very strong personal faith. 'It's a personal thing but we all have the things that drive us forward each day and I get a lot of encouragement from people around the country, some people are very kind, Kyle,' he said. Sandliands asked Mr Morrison if his busy work schedule meant his wife was 'in charge' of the household. 'Jenny keeps me very real, can I just say that,' the Prime Minister replied. 'She holds our family together and when you have a life in politics, there are a lot of stresses and strains on the family. 'Keeping your family together, that is very important... my first job is a dad and a husband and of course, prime minister,' he said. The Prime Minister, 53, is a devout Pentecostal who started dating his wife Jenny (pictured with daughters Lily and Abbey) in year 12 after they met at the Waverley Gospel Chapel youth group Jenny Morrison is pictured with daughters Lily and Abbey in official photos taken at Kirribilli House In an interview with the Weekend Australian, the prime minister said he prays almost every day - on his knees when possible - and reads the bible from his phone, lately perusing through the Old Testament. Although his religious journey started in childhood, it was not until his adult years that he would become a member of the Pentecostal faith - which has controversial customs, such as speaking in tongues and claims to heal by the laying of hands. Growing up Christian, Mr Morrison attended the Presbyterian church at Waverley, in Sydney's eastern suburbs, with his family as a child. But it wasn't until Year 7 that he would make the decision to commit himself to becoming an active Christian for the rest of his life. While attending a Christian youth organisation camp in Melbourne, Mr Morrison felt compelled to make a promise to forever serve Jesus. 'On that camp I gave my life to the Lord, on January 11, 1981. I was 12. I massively felt it that day,' he told The Australian. 'It is a confession of repentance. I felt that movement, to get to my feet. I spent the rest of the day sitting with the chaplain.' Mr Morrison said his choice was entirely personal, with his religious parents urging him to wait until he was ready to take the step. A few years later, his brother, Alan, who had also dedicated himself to God, baptised him at their family church. Mr Morrison (pictured around age five) grew up religious, regularly attending a Presbyterian church in Waverley with his parents Mr Morrison (pictured alongside his wife Jenny, daughters Lily and Abbey, and mother Marion) has been a member of the Horizon Church, in Sydney's south, for more than a decade Mr Morrison went on to meet his wife Jenny through the Christian Brethren Assembly youth group at Waverley Gospel, and the pair began dating in Year 12, later marrying in 1990. A decade later, the Morrisons' faith would evolve from their Presbyterian roots into Pentecostalism. During a work trip to New Zealand, the couple attended a service at the Christchurch Brethren Assembly and developed a taste for the church's dynamic style of worship, which includes shouting, clapping, singing and dancing. 'When we came back to Australia in July 2000 we really appreciated that style of church and we started going to Hillsong church in Waterloo [in inner Sydney]. It’s a bit different from the one in the Hills,' he said. 'It suited us, it was big, we made a lot of friends. Later we went to ShireLive. It’s now called Horizon Church. I’ve never been that fussed about denominations. I just like a community, Bible-based church.' Mr Morrison and his family have been members of the Sutherland Shire's Horizon Church, in Sydney's south, for more than a decade. He said he doesn't participate in the church's custom of 'speaking in tongues', a practice that involves uttering speech-like sounds, which is thought to be the Holy Spirit enabling them to pray - but he insists it isn't as strange as it sounds. Mr Morrison has previously said he and wife Jenny (pictured together) were called upon to do 'God's work' by leading the country However, the prime minister says his private relationship with God includes 'trying to pray every day', an gesture he describes as an 'important act of submission', and he regularly reads from a bible on his phone. Although religion is central to his life and he 'couldn't function without his faith', Mr Morrison also insists it does not dictate his policies and he thinks it is unfair that people suggest his faith is linked to his decisions in office. The disclosure comes just months after Mr Morrison revealed he has engaged in the Pentecostal act of offering 'spiritual healings' during his time in office. In April, the prime minister attended the Australian Christian Churches conference in the Gold Coast where he told cheering fellow parishioners he and Jenny were 'called to do God's work' by leading the country. He and said he often prayed at work and engaged in the evangelical tradition of 'laying on of hands', which is used to confer a spiritual blessing, having done so during a visit to the cyclone hit Pilbara region in Western Australia earlier this year. 'I've been in evacuation centres where people thought I was just giving someone a hug and I was praying, and putting my hands on people… laying hands on them and praying in various situations,' he said. 'God has, I believe, been using us in those moments to be able to provide some relief and comfort and just some reassurance.'
