Conscience

Everyone has a different type of conscience. Some have a strong conscience that doesn't let them do anything risky for fear of a bad outcome, and then theres others who don't have much of a conscience at all and will do almost anything unless there's a definite chance of getting caught.

I personally have a reasonably good conscience. Although quite often I do struggle a lot with things that don't seem too bad and I think to myself that 'its not that important', or 'they won't notice'.

What I wonder about most though, is how do people with weaker consciences refrain from things that could potentially be sinful or dangerous to them and others?

As always I will say that you can ask God. Because he provides the answers to everything. But another simple solution is, when confronted by temptations to do something that could very possibly be wrong (even though it doesn't feel too bad), is to simply think about something else! Think about what you had for dinner and how it tasted or what your plans are for the day. If you manage to get your mind off whatever your struggling with then your sorted! It's just a way to try to prevent yourself from sinning.
