There is a saying that "God will never give you more than you can bear." I have even heard this saying attributed to the Bible itself! In actuality, this is not from the Bible, nor is it even biblically correct, in my opinion.
What is in the Bible is that "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). Sometimes we are in situations that overtake us. Sometimes we are pushed to our limits. Sometimes we hit "rock bottom" and feel completely helpless. In my life, I have seen God show up in just those moments. He gives me more than I can bear on my own, so that I learn to rely on Him and His strength. Without Him I am nothing. With Him, I can do and I can bear all things.
