I am not convinced that Jesus had no control over his 'wants' (not 100% sure what that means), but rather that he stuck to his moral guns if you like. I guess we are traveling down the road of second guessing whether it was a choice or pre-ordained, at this point I think we seem to be saying that Jesus decided not to call on his powers, and as I think it was a moral choice I would give Jesus praise for sticking to his morals. But since it was never possible for him not to stick to his morals, does he still merit praise? Also, is it impressive for someone to follow their natural inclination (in this case, to adhere to Scripture)? It was definitely possible for him to reject his morals, it's just there would never be a reason to.
Otherwise, Satan wouldn't have wasted time trying to tempt him, Jesus would not have rebuked Peter for telling him to take it easy, & he would not have been crying in the Garden of Gethsemane the night of his arrest.
