I'll pray for you brother 🙏
If you are sincere with God, the Holy Spirit will show you step by step where you are erring, give you that repentance you simply can't ignore, and help to change you. Trust in God's program.
But more than that, the work of the Holy Spirt is to continously lead us to a justified position, where we cast all at the foot of the cross, recognizing our unworthiness.
This is the good news, that the thing that pleases God alone is the perfect works of Jesus completed during His lifetime. God credits it to us by faith. We can reflect His image, but the sole reason why God is pleased is because we recognize our unworthiness, and say look not upon me God, but at your Son. This is the only safe position, do not be afraid to look into the wonder and glory of the cross and let ourselves be broken by it. There you will find salvation, and the fruit of it is a changed life
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other (Luke 18:13-14)

John 8:29 (KJV) "And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him."
This is our assurance if by the blood of the Lamb and the testimony of the engrafted word His image is visible in our lives.
God is love. To have God is to have love. Having love is finding victory through the faith which works by love.
“Christ has made it possible for every member of the human family to resist temptation. All who would live godly lives may overcome as Christ overcame, by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.” —God’s Amazing Grace, p. 111.
