Difficulties and persecution are not the same as burn out. This is a matter of the heart. If what you are doing is not leading to your growth and security as a believer, it is not the right thing for you to be doing. If you are doing something that is causing you to grow consistantly closer to God, and causing you to consistently feel refreshed and inspired and leaving you with a feeling of contentment, you're on the right track.
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.
