So we can be devoured by the devil to which we also suffer by the devils attacks, but we are also not touched by the devil?

Q: How do we reconcile these 2 verses?

“We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of
God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.” ‭‭1 John‬
‭5:18‬ ‭

“Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil,
prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But
resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences
of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren
who are in the
world.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:8-9‬ ‭

So we are getting “touched/devoured/suffering” by Satan & not touched by him at the same time?
