This was a good thought from Jerry Bridges book The Pursuit of Holiness.
"Prayer is a vital part of our fellowship with God; yet the psalmist said, "If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened" (Psalm 66:18). To regard wickedness is to cherish some sin, to love it to the extent that I am not willing to part with it. I know it is there, yet I justify it in some way like the child who says, "Well, he hit me first." When we are holding on to some sin we are not pursuing holiness and we cannot have fellowship with God."

Psalm 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear
I never quite had a clear understanding of this verse. Could you fill me in?
