I bought some roses last week. After just a couple of days some of the heads began to droop. I cut a centimetre or two off the bottom of each stem, stripped off a few more leaves and changed the water. By the next day there was little improvement. More of the little rosebuds were losing the strength of their neck and drooping. I tried again. I measured the length of a stem against the height of the vase and cut each stem to that length. I strip off any leaf that would be in the water. I filled the vase with fresh water. Gradually some of the roses have taken strength and raised their heads.
When we are down, injured, depressed, overworked and overloaded God gently sustains us.
