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?
