Why not all prayer requests relate to health
Reading the statutory prayers adds the voice of the person asking to the voice of the Church and makes the prayer stronger.
Prayer book
The statutory prayers included in the Akathist Book and Prayer Book contain various petitions. At the beginning, the prayer remembers the miracles of St. Spyridon, performed in defense of the Orthodox faith.
Then the saint’s lifetime and posthumous miracles, known to the entire Orthodox world, are listed. By pronouncing these words, the prayer puts himself among the witnesses of the miraculous deeds of the Saint and glorifies God.
The final part of the prayer contains the requests of the person praying. First, the patient asks for “forgiveness of many sins”, then “peaceful living” - not to create new evils, and “a shameless death, eternal bliss” - the main goal of Christian life. These divine gifts form the basis of the spiritual and physical health of the supplicant.
Specific requests to the Saint are not included in the text, but are pronounced at the end of the main rule. By this, the prayer confirms submission to the will of God, readiness to accept any decision from Him.
It should be remembered: when the Saint’s daughter became mortally ill, he did not try to heal her with prayer, although he often did this for others. The saint knew that God had willed it this way.
