"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." --Galatians 6:9
John Piper comments, "If you ask what the 'well-doing' is that we must not tire of, probably the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22ff is the best answer: don't weary of being patient and kind and good and faithful and gentle and self-controlled. Don't weary of manifesting your peace and joy in all kinds of acts of love to your neighbors and associates and family. In short, don't lose heart in spending yourself through love."
It is tiring to keep going when times are tough. There are times when the "return" on the investment of time, energy, love, tears, etc. may not be seen this side of glory, but it is so worth it.
