The Holy Spirit leads and directs away away from following the way of a sinful lifestyle and gives us power to be led into true holiness. But we have to allow God to have is way in our lives
Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
So believers are to be separated from worldliness and sin and be dedicated to God. We can prayer and sometimes fast with prayer. And apply the Word of God to our lives. And we put our trust in the bright and morning star Jesus to lead us into true holiness. Revelation 22:16.
PSALM 119:105 Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. WBT
God’s word is a light to guide us through trials, challenges, to inspire us to right behaviour. To lead us into truth away from error in a dark evil world.

The way we behave behave in the world impacts our witness and when we live right for God then it shows God' grace is working us. Matthew 5:16.
