Who you do life and ministry with will make or break you. 

That is evident in Exodus 17 when Moses and the Israelites go to battle against Amalek.

Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. So Moses said to Joshua, "Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand." So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses' hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword.
- Exodus 17:8-13 ESV


I don't think there is much to add here! 

I think the main question is, who are you going into battle with?

It's not a matter of if you are going into battle... I mean, if you are a part of the Family of God it's pretty clear...

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 
- Ephesians 6:12 ESV

So, it's not a question of if... The question is, are you prepared?

Who are the people in your life who will hold your arms up when the battle is long, hard and ugly? 

Maybe that's why life and ministry has been so tough for you lately. You are called to fight the battle... but not alone.
