The devils know Jesus Christ because he is their creator and Lord of all.

They knew Paul because he worked the mighty works of God by Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Ghost in him.

The sons of Sceva used the name of Jesus flippantly, not being submitted to Christ themselves and not having his Spirit within them. This left them wide open to the thrashing they received.

I trust your situation is different if you have trusted in Jesus Christ as your Savior and believed the gospel. There can be a number of reasons Christians suffer. Many are merely the result of our living in this fallen world. Others are due to our own behavior or those closest to us. Some are trials to our faith, or training in adversity to purify us as gold (see 1 Peter chapter 1).

Maybe we are learning something that can help us comfort someone else at a later time (see 2 Corinthians chapter 1).

There are times we cannot understand why we are suffering in a certain way, but we can learn to trust God in it, knowing that he only gives what is for our own good (see Romans 8:28-39). We are also promised that Jesus is with us through all our difficulties.

In Luke 18, Jesus tells us we ought always pray, and not faint and he pictures it with a parable of a woman that pestered the unjust judge until he relented and helped her. It may take a long time to get our answer, but God does hear and wants us to keep calling on him.
