Jesus told the people:
Matthew 5:23-24
So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
On the other hand have you noticed that most of the time our public prayers end with our asking for our sins to be forgiven?
If we really believed we had sins that required forgiveness wouldn't that be the first thing for which we would ask? We have several phrases we use to signal we are approaching the end of this prayer. Our public prayers are to fill the time allocated for a prayer not for communicating with God.
