Peace
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:6-7
Sometimes it seems a bit much to even ask anything more from a God who has been faithful to us, knowing that we have been unfaithful to Him... but oftentimes, it is the only way to have peace. What a privilege it is to partner with God in every situation we face. To know that God is nearby and that God hears us and is willing and able to help us.
I pray that as I grow older, our Heavenly Father will cause me to be more prayerful, and be more mindful of my thoughts. To take every thought captive and make it more receptive and obedient to Christ.

Kindness
Something that took me all these many years to realize is that being kind is more important than being right.
