I would say blind faith is having the courage to take a step into the darkness, trusting that God will show you the way as you place one foot in front of the other, (baby steps). The darkness is any unknown territory. Sometimes in depression we find ourselves sinking deep into unknown territory. Blind faith would have us explore around while we are down there, and try to take it as far as we can, allowing the old festered slivers to work their way through so the healing can begin. It's a scary place to be, but with 'blind' faith, coupled with fervent prayer, all will be well, no matter what else happens. It may take awhile, but maybe that's what life is all about.
