I am sure this has been answered before but this problem causes me a particular amount of stress.
I have been struggling with a couple sins that have been rather difficult for me to conquer. I am unable to have confession until the weekend. In the meantime, if I continue my regular daily and nightly prayer routine, are my prayers still efficacious even though I have fallen into a state of sin? As I understand Catholic teaching, sin alienates us from God. If that is the case, I can’t help but think, does this mean our prayers are not answered or heard if we pray while in sin?
 
Shower heaven with prayers and tears. How could any man turn away from sin if God does not hear? Our Father leads us to His Son in the confessional. Look up “Perfect Contrition” in the CCC.

Peace and all good.
