It's like exercise. If you're doing proper exercise for your body and your fitness level you will feel exhausted but good and you're fitness level will progress. If you're doing something incorrectly, you'll injure yourself and require time to recover. You'll feel exhausted *and* injured, and your down time will cost you progress in your fitness level.

People can let difficulties and persecutions to cause burnout though
Growth is through personal relationship, despite difficulties and what others say or do, you have to walk with God. Don't focus on people or what benefits we thought we should have gotten from serving God
