How should I ask to get a better increase?

I currently work as a HR Assistant in a clinical research organization and I recently received an increase of about 4% for my last year performance which overall was good! A receptionist who has about the same amount of experience as I do with no degree not only received a 4% increase but was also promoted to an HR Assistant role with an additional 4% increase, now making almost $3000 more then me. This has made me furious!! How can I approach my Director for a fair evaluation?? Or help her see my side without any threats. I currently need my job as I am planning on making some life changes.

How should I ask to get a better increase?
Before you talk to your Director. Answer this question. What did you do to deserve the 4% raise. Are you one time everyday, have you taken additional days off, do you leave early or stay late. do you help your coworkers. It's possible the new person works harder than you.
