RJR:

<<I often hear people say HKB"H doesn't give anyone a test they can't " 
pass". Does anyone know of any original sources either way on the issue?>>

One side: Ramban Parshas VaYera 22:1.

Other side: Hagaha L'brayysa d'Ma'aseh Torah #160, and Aderes Eliyahu on 
Balak, version 3; both cited in Hasdei Eliyah on Avos 5:4 (but I found 
neither source): "Ba'asarah nisyonos nisnaseh Bilam uvkulan lo hishgiah 
bahem".
