shemoneh esrei - Why are you allowed to say the elokay nitzor in the end of the amidah on shabbat and yom tov?



You are not allowed to ask for personal requests on shabbat and yom tov when praying to god. However the elokay nitzor following the amidah has a format of a request and is yet still said on these days.


Why is this the case and is it any different the the remaining request-like blessings that are said in the amidah during the week (e.g. refaeni, selach, barech aleynu, etc.)?


The same could be asked regarding the yehi ratzons of the birkhot hashakhar.
