The world did not fall and God did not lose control of his creation to a devil when Adam fell. We live in a perfect world by God's estimation, but we live in the isolation ward of crazy people who think they are God.
He said that he would give us what we want and permit us to wallow in the consequences. <ref>Ro 1:18ff</ref> We wish to be gods. The consequences are pain, suffering and death. And this is good! We have two schoolmasters to bring us back to God. The law leads our mind and spirit to Christ, since there is shadow in the law which speaks of the 'good things coming' <ref>Heb 10.:1</ref>. Suffering is the schoolmaster that leads the flesh to repentance. In the midst of suffering, no one ever said, "This is the way it should be." They cry out that their suffering is wrong, and that it should not be that way. in In doing so, they acknowledge that there is way it should be, and it is not their way, ; they have no control. Suffering forces us to acknowledge that we are not gods.
This is God' purpose for suffering in this world. When we suffer and we have acknowledged God as God, yet we continue to suffer, we glorify him and give him thanks in the midst of it that he is in control, leading the world back to himself. If we were to demand that we not suffer, while still here in the isolation ward of crazy people who think they are God, we would be demanding that God get rid of all suffering. That he would end the world prematurely, before every last soul came to Christ that will. The souls under the altar crying out for vengeance in Revelation are not Christian saints! The Christian saint is willing to suffer a bit longer so that Christ may receive his full reward. The Christian saint prays for God's mercy on his enemies. The Christian saint is willing to die so that one not assured of salvation may live for another opportunity to bow to Christ.
