For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. (Romans 7:18)
Being whole is knowing that only God can fully restore you.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with loving-kindness and compassion; Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle. (Psalm 103:2-5)
Being whole is trusting the Sovereign God with your life and will by receiving His grace through Christ.

Being whole is daily confessing your sins to God, yourself, and fellow brethren.
But if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:7-9)
Being whole is turning away from your patterns of sin and turning to God daily.
Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. (2 Timothy 2:22)
Being whole is humbly asking God’s Spirit to change your heart and mind in order to follow Christ fully.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-25)
Being whole is seeking to deepen your relationship with God daily and rely on Him solely.
This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. (John 17:3)
Being whole is experiencing regeneration through Christ, and carrying God’s message of reconciliation (The Gospel) to others.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, ( 2 Corinthians 5:17-18)
