"Who formed the human body with skill" #BlogElul 15

One of my favorite blessings is part of the morning service - and I don't say it enough.

Praise to You, Adonai
our God, Sovereign of the universe,
who formed the human body with skill
creating the body's many pathways and openings.
It is well known before Your throne of glory
that if one of them be wrongly opened or closed,
it would be impossible to endure and stand before You.
Blessed are You, Adonai, who heals all flesh, working wondrously.


בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, רוֹפֵא כָל בָּשָׂר, וּמַפְלִיא לַעֲשׂוֹת

Baruch atah, Adonai, rofei chol basar umafli laasot.

I believe this prayer says it best. How often do we take for granted the regular "healthy" functioning of our bodies?
