I would argue that the most difficult thing God ever did was during the incarnation of Jesus Christ. That's the only time God ever had to break a sweat-when He took on true humanity and lived a life for 33 years, suffering under Pontius Pilate, sweating great drops of blood. Creating the universe from nothing costs God nothing. It doesn’t deplete His resources to command, "Let there be light," or to create all the creatures of the earth.
But in the act of redemption, in the incarnation, it would be easier for God to pass a camel through the eye of a needle than to save you and me. Because to save us, it required an incarnation. It required a sinless life of 33 years, a death, burial, resurrection, and ascension. It took the work of the Holy Spirit to draw us, who where opposed to God, not seeking God, and unrighteous. No one seeks God on their own. It took the Holy Spirit drawing us to Himself because unless He drew us, we would never come.
