Inner conflict
Feeling that opposing desires, fears, or values fight inside us.
What the Bible can tell you
For I don't understand what I am doing. For I don't practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
Romans 7:24
He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
James 1:8
A human reading
Inner conflict is human and does not have to be solved all at once. Naming each part helps you understand them. Listening to yourself calmly is the first step toward choosing with more clarity.
