Taraji P. Henson has taken time out of her busy promotional schedule for the upcoming movie "No Good Deeds" to help her fans along their own paths to greatness.

Henson, a 43-year-old actress, may star in the upcoming thriller "No Good Deeds," but she seemingly ignored the title to offer some Godly advice to a fan Friday morning.

"What's the best advice you have to offer as I begin my journey?," one fan questioned Henson on Twitter.

With the help of a few hashtags, Henson may have supplied some life-changing advice.

"‪#nevergiveup‬ ‪#God‬+Faith=MooveMountain," she tweeted in response.

Last April, Henson spoke to The Christian Post about how her own Christian faith impacted her life.

"It has definitely kept me sane and continues to keep me sane because I know how I got here. I moved to California with $700 in my pocket with my son and a dream and faith," Henson told CP. "And every time a door would close I would pray to God like 'I know you've got a plan for me because I'm still here.' There's a plan for me and I believe in that."

Although Henson later became an Oscar-nominated actress with countless other awards and accolades under her belt, there was a point in time when she had no accomplishments to feel secure about. In those moments, Henson turned to God.

"Whenever I thought I was supposed to get something and it didn't fall through, I would just fall back to God and be like 'ok well what else, because whatever you've got must be better than this,'" she revealed to CP. "And then it is, it always is."

Henson also laughed when she admitted that her faith has also kept her from reacting to people who push her buttons.

"Faith keeps me from snapping on people because people will test you and push you...Humans hurt each other, because we were hurt," she told CP. "That's what humans do, so why would you give that much power to another human? You've got to look to something higher."

Henson's "No Good Deed" hits theaters Sept. 12.
