It is possible to praise God in our pain—in fact, sometimes, that's what relieves our hearts.
God's love and his heart and his promises do not change, though our circumstances may beg us to doubt him. Our hearts may endure long seasons of quiet, where we find no voice to sing. Praising God in suffering is either a resolve we have based on what we know to be true, and we sing songs of praise to help lead our hearts into the truth. Or, praising God in suffering is a reflex that happens when we come to the realization that indeed, God is good, no matter what we are experiencing.
