God can use the adversity and challenges sent by Satan to make you stronger and more resilient.
The interactions between Satan and God in the Book of Job are significant because they challenge the traditional understanding of suffering and faith. They raise questions about the nature of God's justice and the reasons for human suffering. The dialogue between Satan and God highlights the complexity of the human experience and the importance of maintaining faith in the face of adversity.

AnswerIf we believe in Satan, we should read the Book of Job, which contains more about Satan than any other biblical source. In Job, Satan was the loyal assistant of God, who gave him a challenge to prove that Job was unrighteous. God said that Satan could do whatever evil he wished, as long as he did not hurt the person of Job. When this challenge failed, God gave Satan a further challenge in which he could even hurt the person of Job. If this story is literally true, then God interacts in a friendly way with Satan, giving him tasks and advice, and is responsible for the evil that Satan does.

Satan is as strong as god and may be even stronger now because of the amount of sins people commit, god needs Satan or the balance will be disrupted and "free will" cannot exist

Look into Jesus' time in the desert known as the 'temptation of Jesus'
No, they don't. In the album Beyond Hell, GWAR actually dug into the surface of the earth and broke into Satan's palace and totally murdered him. They are stronger than any god.
God chose to communicate with Satan regarding Job's faithfulness and loyalty to demonstrate Job's unwavering devotion and trust in Him, even in the face of adversity and suffering. This interaction served as a test of Job's faith and a way to showcase his steadfastness and righteousness.
In the Book of Job, Satan had nothing much to do, so God gave him the challenge to put Job to the test. The challenge was that Satan could do any evil that he wished, as long as he did not harm Job. When Satan was unable to have Job curse God, God gave him another, easier challenge in which Satan could now harm Job himself. So, God initiated the challenges and Satan carried them out.
Jesus Christ, the angels of God have once defeated Satan and cast him out of heaven. So if it makes you feel better God can end this evil in the world whenever he wants and he could outright defeat Satan whenever
Modern Judaism sees Satan as an assistant to God and in no way an adversary. His role is to help determine the righteousness of the people. An excellent example of this in the Book of Job. In this, God discussed with Satan, in heaven, what he had been doing. He then gave Satan the challenge to make the righteous Job show lack of belief in God. God told Satan to perform any evil that he needed to do, as long as he did not touch Job. When this failed, and Job continued to show faith in God, God gave Satan a second challenge, in which he could even do evil to the person of Job. FROM THE BOOK OF JOB In the first chapter of Job, beginning with the seventh verse we read,"And the Lord said to Satan, From where did you come? Then Satan answered the Lord, From going to and fro on the earth and from walking up and down on it. 8And the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who [reverently] fears God and abstains from and shuns evil [because it is wrong]? 9Then Satan answered the Lord, Does Job [reverently] fear God for nothing? 10Have You not put a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have conferred prosperity and happiness upon him in the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11But put forth Your hand now and touch all that he has, and he will curse You to Your face. 12And the Lord said to Satan (the adversary and the accuser), Behold, all that he has is in your power, only upon the man himself put not forth your hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord. -( from the Amplified Bible) It is evident from the account in Job that Satan, as God's enemy, was actually challenging God, and he was also challenging Job's integrity. God then allowed Satan to attempt to prove his challenge. Later when Satan failed to break Job's integrity with his first attacks on Job, Satan challenged God even further at Job 2: 4,5, "Then Satan answered the Lord, Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has will he give for his life. 5But put forth Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse and renounce You to Your face. " So we can see that it was Satan's challenge to God, that he could get Job to leave God, and even curse God. In fact, in Job 2:4, Satan went further. He said "all that a man has will he give for his life." It's interesting that he said "a man," not just Job. It would seem that his challenge goes further than just the faithful man Job, but rather it extends to all humankind. So all of us are involved in this issue. Even the son of God, Jesus, while on earth was not immune to this challenge. In Matthew chapter 4, and all throughout the gospels, right on down to Jesus' death, we read about Satan's attempts to break Jesus integrity. In fact, the definition of the words Satan and devil are: adversary, opposer, and slanderer. So Satan is God's opposer and aversary.
