This is true faith and it will help lead you forward. Blind faith, on the other hand, would have a person believe they will be saved from their situation simply because it's written in a book or someone they trust told them so. The problem with this is that the locus of control is outside of the person. They are trusting and are therefore dependent on someone else's knowing rather than on their own. This brings us back to what I said earlier about free will sometimes seeming cruel.
Blind faith is a blind alley.
It doesn't go anywhere, and it's where most people who have felt let down by me have strayed.
