No where in the Bible does it say that God will never give you more than you can handle. It does discuss being tempted, and it discusses trials.
If God didn't give you more than you can handle, then you would never have the need to go to Him with your burdens.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
God allows us to go through trials so that we will come to Him with our problems.
It is very similar to the poem "Footprints in the Sand" - it is during the trials that we are carried. God doesn't expect us to go through the trials alone. He wants you to come to Him and have Him carry you.

1 Corinthians 10:13 starting with verse 12
So if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you dont fall! No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

There isn't a verse that says exactly what your question asks.,,but this is the one that you are referring to.
1 Corinthians 10:13 . . .¨But God is faithful, and he will not let YOU be tempted beyond what YOU can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make the way out in order for YOU to be able to endure it.¨
You question implied that trials came from God , and this is absolutely not so.
James 1:13 . . .¨When under trial, let no one say: "I am being tried by God." For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone.¨
Yes ,. Jehovah God doesn't try , or ,test anyone . !
James 1:16-17 ¨Do not be misled, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect present is from above, for it comes down from the Father of the [celestial] lights, and with him there is not a variation of the turning of the shadow.¨
The true God in the heavens only ever has , and only ever will give good gifts to his creation.
So when under trial ,. never blame God.

1 Cor 10:13

1 Cor.10:6-11. The actual promise, found in 10:13 is that God will not let us be tempted beyond our ability but will provide a way of escape so that we can withstand the temptation without giving into sin.

He will not allow anything to come upon you that you cannot bear. I haven't read the bible in a very long time so I cannot tell you where it is, sorry, but you can bet the other Christian's are one it right now. Hang on the answer is on the way, if not there already.

Hebrews 4:14-15 also promises us that Jesus was tempted to follow the lusts of the flesh, but He did not. (Note: God never tempts us, we are naturally carnal) God wants to transform us. So, God will never place us in a situation where we can not choose to remain loyal to Him.
"Hbr 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."
A beautiful reminder:
"How many a sin-burdened soul has echoed that prayer. And to all, the pitying Saviour's answer is, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." It is faith that connects us with heaven, and brings us strength for coping with the powers of darkness. In Christ, God has provided means for subduing every sinful trait, and resisting every temptation, however strong. But many feel that they lack faith, and therefore they remain away from Christ. Let these souls, in their helpless unworthiness, cast themselves upon the mercy of their compassionate Saviour. Look not to self, but to Christ. He who healed the sick and cast out demons when He walked among men is the same mighty Redeemer today. Faith comes by the word of God. Then grasp His promise, "Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out." John 6:37. Cast yourself at His feet with the cry, "Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief." You can never perish while you do this--never."

If you are in Christ, I Corinthians 10:13. God never tempts us to sin, but He does allow trials to purify our faith (I Peter 1:7, James 1)
