Talk with God. Your prayer could be something like this: I love You God. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for growing Your character in me. Thank You for helping me learn to obey by:

Talking to You every day. This grows responsibility in me.
Reading my Bible. This grows perseverance in me.
Respecting my parents. This grows respect in me.
Choosing to tell the truth. This grows integrity in me.
Forgiving family, friends and others. This grows forgiveness, grace and mercy in me.

Thank You for always loving me as I make right and wrong choices.
