I'm not sure I ever read that being God was difficult. Maybe the Lord of the Rings.

Is it hard to be God?
I tried being God, the guilt was overwhelming.

but by definition wouldn't that mean you were never God?

Because God has to deal with idiot humans.

Speak for yourself
Anyone can chime in about their God(s).
Ehhh... I wouldn't want to be Cronus or Ymir.

Perhaps the concept of “hard” does not exist for God

Selflessly here for you
I’d say no, but only because “hard/difficult” - as we understand those sort of words - describe human emotion and God, to me, is not human.

For God it’s not hard to be God. For me, it would definitely be hard and impossible.

I was God for a whole weekend. The pressure, the guilt, couldn't deal with it, spent the latter half the weekend convincing myself that I was not God.

True, there could be any number of atrocities, injustices, disasters, diseases, hundreds of thousand of people might have suffered, women raped, children killed. God / Allah never feels guilty about it. There always are explanations.
God does not have to deal with humans now. That time will come only at the end of the days. And if something displease him in the meantime, he can always send an earthquake, a flood or fire and brimstone. No dealing really.
'Bruce Almighty' was first thought upon reading this thread.

For an all-powerful, all-knowing God (YHWH), nothing is difficult for Him either under the sun, or over the heavens. But, as @Wildswanderer said, it appears that impatience or wrath may arise within Him, simply due to His attempts to impress upon us humans the need and obligation to love one another. ...I personally would've destroyed us, including myself, a long time ago.
So again, nothing is fatiguing, exasperating, overwhelming, onerous, complicated or beyond His ability, for God almighty. It is only His ineffable and immeasurable patience and mercy that may make it appear that He's still trying to work things out, or has difficulty in getting things to go His way. But, like I said, it is just His inexhaustible grace and love that compels Him to allow more time for us to come around.

Not really, because spiritual experience improves coping mechanisms. It improves mental performance draws out better expectancy, and brings greater understanding of mental and spiritual potential and connects to God. This is what the Holy Spirit does.
