The Bible teaches that satan is the "prince of the power of the air". (Ephesians 2:2) But the problem with satan is we don't recognize him when we see him.
The truth is satan will go to any extreme to make sure Christians don't recognize him or his works for what they really are. That's why the Bible points out, "For satan himself masquerades as angel of light". (II Corinthians 11:14)
We often don't associate many of the everyday things we do with sin, which shows just how good satan is a deceiving us.

Hebrews 4:16 says, "Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Old Testament references to the throne of God declare the holiness, glory, and sovereignty of God. In Christ, the throne of God is a fountain of grace and mercy. Yet it remains a throne. It is a seat of divine authority. It is the place from which God reigns over heaven and earth. Jesus says: Pray then like this: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come."
