I feel like all day today my patience is being tested. I've wanted to blow up at things that seemed to pull my chain, I felt at times it was being done on purpose. My kids father would say something that really upset me and I seen something that upset me. Am I being tested? My normal reaction would be to lash out and say or do something stupid like before but I held myself back this time and instead prayed and of course she'd some tears.

Way to go Suzy!

One of the fruit of the Spirit is self control. It sounds like it took a lot of self control to get through the day. It sounds like you were also long suffering.

1 Peter 1:6-9
In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

Life has it's challenging moments - I don't think the Lord simply places obstacles in our way. Maybe you are a bit stressed.
