What happens with we “Praise” God in the midst of hurt, pain, and disappointment?

Lucy Gray, in this short video clip from “The Hunger Games” the Rainbow Serpents scene, Lucy demonstrates the power of a song.

As the scene open, Lucy and several others candidates are in a building waiting for the next fight.  As a large metal drum is lowered into the room, the drum explodes with floor filling with serpents.  One by one the candidates are taken down by the serpents, while Lucy makes her way slowly up a large rock slope.  The serpents begin making their way up the slope towards her.

While being scared, she begins to sing. At first, her crackling scared voice utters a few words, while the serpents get closer and closer.  When the serpents crawl on her, she begins singing louder and louder.  Amazingly, the serpents begin to slow down their movement, as if being subdued by the song.  Finally, she singing almost at the top of her lungs and the serpents are subdued the challenge of attacking her.  With a firm look at the camera, she is waiting for the end result.

Meanwhile, behind the camera, decisions are being made whether to pull her out or not.  In this intense moment, she patiently waits.
