Nice question.
Although your question is specifically directed at Christians, my friend, I might hazard what I believe to be a fairly safe explanation. You see, the idea here is that Jesus is freely choosing to follow his father's will. The story is -- so far as I have been told by a few Christians -- a story that should inspire us all to freely chose to do God's will.
In other words, we have free will, we do not always chose to follow God's will, but we should follow God's will.
I can't speak for all Christians, but personally, I just do what I want.Jesus said “Thy will be done”. Then why do most Christians speak of and highlight free will of individuals?

Oh.. unless of course you are quoting from Jesus personal prayer before his death and then disregard the above.
“He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done” (Matthew 26:42, KJV)
Peace
HiHello and thank you. Yes, this is what I referred to.
We are free to choose "Thy Will Be Done"Jesus said “Thy will be done”. Then why do most Christians speak of and highlight free will of individuals?

This is a man who does not want to go through the trials he has ahead of him. There are so many things both personal and Universal that are on his mind.
