must ask for permission

Lots of people dont ask permission and just do what they want, but that doesnt really make it ok. I heard a story recently of a guy trying to write a book for years and was just struggling. His parents thought he needed a "real" job. He had asked them to pray for him from time to time and they would. Later he found out what they were praying for was for him to find a real job and give up being a novelist. He shut them down and put them in their place on the matter, and was then able to write and finish his book. Sometimes people have ideas about what's best for us and they can unintentionally cause damage with their sendings. So take that for what it's worth and forget it if it isnt helpful.
