I recently realised that I may have been unintentionally living in sin. I confessed, but I'm worried that it may have cut me off from the Lord. I know it says in the Bible that if you're living in sin your prayers won't be heard, and I'm worried that all my prayers of the past month won't have come true due to this. I've tried to avoid sin as much as possible and tried to eliminate all of it from my life, I'm worried that my unintentional sin may have cut me off from God temporarily and that he didn't hear my prayers while I was unintentionally sinning even though I've tried so hard to obey him.

God is all loving and all merciful.
Jesus came to save sinners remember. Trust in Jesus my friend.
Be confident that God hears your prayers. Dont let satan persuade you otherwise as he is the one that tries to separate us from God.
Never ever give up on God as he will never ever give up on you.
God bless and protect you

When you confess, God forgives, when God forgives, He forgets. He knows the difference between unintentional and deliberate sin. "If I hide iniquity my heart, He will not hear me". Yes, but to hide something you must be aware that it is there. God is merciful and gracious. His mercies are new every morning. He loves you. He is looking for ways to bless you, not kick you around because you made a mistake.

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Psa 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
The word "regard' might be considered as "hold on to", savor, relish, etc. If you have turned from or even desire to turn from that which separates you from God, he is faithful to help you.

An unintentional sin is not going to cut you off from God. God will bring it to your attention for change. But he will not be harsh with you.

I am not sure at all that there is such a thing as an "unintentional sin". In classical Christian theology for an action (or inaction) to be a sin requires three conditions:
*** it must be a serious matter
*** it must be known to be a sin
*** it must be done anyhow
*** it must be a serious matter
*** it must be known to be a sin
*** it must be done anyhow
