The following is a prayer that Elie Wiesel, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, grew up praying every morning as a child.
"Blessed be the Lord, who has created human beings wisely. In their bodies are a multitude of arteries, cavities and openings: if but one of them were to be blocked or damaged, they could not survive an hour."
From his book Open Heart
I love the earthiness of this prayer, the non-separation of spiritual and physical. Very Jewish and very Christian. In Christ we live and move and have our very being.
