What trial or test are you facing today, with which you need God's help?
Is there something that is beyond what you can accomplish alone; "in your flesh"? Maybe it is not a "something" but a "someone" who by just drawing a breath "gets your goat!" Your response is so important in this test! Do you respond in like manner; "in the flesh"? Or do you respond in "Love"; as commanded by The LORD?
When we listen to the enemy and respond as he directs, (in anger, justifying our behavior as we go) we open the door for sin, and we are making the devil lord over us; following him!
However, when we choose (and it is our choice) to walk in Love (forgiveness for the wrong done) then we are following God's Commandments and show He is our LORD!
Making the choice to walk in love is the harder of the two, however when we do, we can ask The LORD for His help and expect Him to give it and then the burden is on Him! Giving Him the task of helping you, instead of listening to (acting on) the whispers in your head, (saying, "well you did not deserve", or "he had no right") is the set-up for success! Then The LORD will step up and give you the strength you need and and begin to make changes in you to make the walk easier, and changes in the other person, too!!!!
"Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?" (Jeremiah 32:26, 27 NKJV)
If you failed your test, repent! Just like if you fall down, you get back up! Just like when you were a baby, learning to walk; when you miss it, you just keep on trying! You will finally get it! Soon you'll be up running, and you'll be amaZed at how what used to cause so much turmoil in your life will be, eazy-peazy!
Just remember; this life is not about you and the other person, it's about you and your relationship with God; being His Light in this world!
You can't be Light if you are acting like darkness!
Even so - MARANATHA!
