Why satan sends sickness and hurdles in our life?

I have been going through a hard time these days. Covid is all around and a lot of people are getting infected. I prayed to God to heal all of them and then Satan came to my house and sent sickness of all kinds to me so I will stop praying for them. Jesus was tempted in the desert when He was fasting and praying before God. Right after the Lord was baptized by John the Baptist, He was tempted three times. Once He was trying to trip Him physically, the second time He was tried psychologically, the third time He tempted with material possessions and riches of the earth.

If You bow down and worship me, then I will give you all these things. Riches of the earth. Jesus answered. Satan, stay away from Me, for it is written, thou shall serve the Lord and Him alone shall thou serve.
Matt. 4:9,10

So, if Jesus was tempted so many times and overcame the devil's temptations, we, as His dear children, should do the same thing. Casting out from our life, our home, and our environment. This uninvited guest wants us all to miss our way to heaven. Do not let him do this to you.

Know that as often as you come to Me.
Says the Lord.
Humble yourself before His holy presence.
In humility and love.
Ask the Lord to deliver you from Satan's temptations.
I will pour out blessings upon blessings to those who ask.
Deliverance cometh from Me.
Says the Lord.
When Satan comes along your life,
Call on the Lord.
He will take away all burdens from your life.

Pray that you will not fall into temptation, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
Matt. 26:41

The bigger question is, why does God allow satan to slap us around?

The bigger question is, why does God allow satan to slap us around?

He wants us to imitate Jesus the image of God so we can overcome and reign like him -- 21 To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches" (Rev 3:21, see also Phil 2 (The Kenosis, below)...

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:

6 Who, existing in the form of God,
did not consider equality with God
something to be grasped,

7 but emptied Himself,
taking the form of a servant,
being made in human likeness.

8 And being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled Himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross.

9 Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place
and gave Him the name above all names,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

12 Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. 13For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose.

"Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory" (Rom 8:17).
