The devil hates for any man or woman to have faith in Jesus and he works to destroy that faith by deception and through others that are led or influenced by him.
Having trials and troubles in the world isn't necessarily persecution from the devil. We are born into a troubled world and into sin and death. The new life and eternal life that is most important comes from God through His Son Jesus, who died for our sins and rose as the first person of many that would follow after Him as family - born again brothers and sisters, the Church of Jesus Christ.The devil works to destroy the work that God has done through Jesus, but Jesus has already taken away the keys of hell and death from him and has defeated him - destroying the works of the devil if we will hold fast to our confession of faith in God's Son.

Re 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Don't let pride overshadow unconditional love. If you feel persecuted, you feel victimized-- and that should be addressed first and formost. Remember to respect yourself, and make sure you're not being mistreated.

Additionally, try not to see the satan in other things, but the Christ that is within everyone.

Christ is within very few. "Wide is the road, and narrow the path that leads to everlasting life." be on your guard for spiritual nuisances.
