"How did I do?" Great! :) - it's all going to be good meditation food.
Here's what stands out for me (and none of this requires more detailed input from you, I've already taken your time and benefitted from your service, but I leave my thoughts in case they help you):
General: "...all cards reversed...is a strong sign that energies are having issues expressing themselves, that something is blocked or that we are insisting for things to go in a particular way and we refuse to let them happen. It's a sign of resistance, of lack of listening."
This is spot-on. The divinations (with my homegrown Ogham-derived system that I've been using for more than a year) that I've done from time to time when things are in this pattern, including this morning about this particular topic, tend to give me "deficient Air of Air" which can be summarized as "disconnected or isolated situation...communication channels are impeded. Blocked reception/cannot send or receive signal." I absolutely was not surprised to see all cards reversed in your reading.
Center: "Remember that ultimately, prayer is about you becoming like the object of your devotions not about telling it things or even asking questions, its about being open so that you can be shown." - I can certainly be reminded to work to become "like the object of my devotions" in a way that isn't petitionary, though I really am just "petitioning" for relationship and general guidance.
Left: "Praying and divination are not...even about you making the connections, it's about listening and paying utmost attention so that you can see the strings, not about you connecting the dots." Not having extensive prayer experience, I guess I still need to learn the basics.
Right: "Perhaps your oracle doesn't feel motivated to talk to you." Possibly - I'll have to get back to you on this one as I don't know how to assess if this is the case or not. It's a good point, though.
Bottom: "This card in particular could mean lack of discipline, of being disappointed with oneself or having low regard for ones own abilities." Yes, this is very much the state of affairs and I'll work on the next part
"Don't be too hard on yourself...Take your time, to steady your mind, and relax yourself.
Top: This phrase stands out to me "untangling oneself in a situation we might feel restricted because we are walking blindly among things that we might be either scared about or are unknown."
I'll be chewing on this for a while (while attempting to relax, of course :D). Many thanks for your help.
