Can everyone pray the Jesus prayer always or do i need to pray a different prayer until i become baptized, i want to try to pray as much as possible because when i am at work or different places i often get bad thoughts and often Jesus prayer helps but i am scared to do it to much because i am not Orthodox

What do you do to get closer to God when you are not at church other than morning and evening prayers?

Can one pray the Jesus prayer for the dead if so how would you say it? Just like we normally do or change the words for example ( Lord Jesus christ have mercy on the dead)

Do the saints pray for every person, or can you only ask them to pray for you when you are baptized?
