I'm a Christian and definitely believe in God but sometimes I get this sudden feeling of doubt and think "I don't believe" but I know that's not how I feel and I ignore/reject the thought. It doesn't last for long and it doesn't happen often.
Can evil spirits trick you into thinking a certain way?

Don’t fret: even though few admit it, there’s probably not a single Christian out there, who’s never been afflicted by doubts. Theologian Paul Tillich even goes as far as saying that doubt is an integral part of faith. In my personal experience doubting is painful and scary, but whenever I’ve overcome my doubts, my faith is not just renewed, but much stronger for it. Maybe this sermon can help you in your struggles: http://www.stmichaelsbonair.org/april-7-2013-encountering-god-in-doubt-rev-jeunee/
Praying for you,

P.S.: If you prefer listening to reading, here’s another sermon going into slightly different aspects of doubt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcam-iZ55Hs

You have to ask yourself this. Is there anything you are doing that would allow Satan to try and sway you, are you keepimg yourself close to God, tho Satan will always try to get you from worshiping God, things you do can make the path for Satan easier to lead you astray
