Unconfessed sin doesn't make God ignore you. It kills your confidence in prayer. Guilt and shame make you doubt you're worthy to ask for healing or help, so your prayers weaken from the inside.
Unconfessed sin doesn't make God ignore you. It kills your confidence in prayer. Guilt and shame make you doubt you're worthy to ask for healing or help, so your prayers weaken from the inside.
It's not that your unconfessed sin causes God to ignore you, not if you're a believer. Rather, it's that your unconfessed sin hinders your confidence to approach him. And if you lack in confidence, you lack in faith, to where now you can't pray, you can't focus, you can't believe, you can't ask because of guilt and shame that you're carrying because of unconfessed sin. You go to pray for your loved ones and then you think, well, who am I to pray for them? You ask for a healing and then you tell yourself, well, maybe this is God punishing me. You pray for blessing in your finances, you say, maybe this is a curse I've invited upon myself because of my unconfessed sin. It hinders your faith to receive, not God's ear to hear.
