One of the Blessings recorded here in God's Word is that God's People shall not labour in vain. There are several cases in the Bible of God's Servants who thought that they had laboured in vain, some of them even proclaimed and confessed that way. For some people it seems to be a part of their maturing process from God that they are going through. Remember the Promise: God's People shall not labour in vain.
