Notes

1. He thinks he's failed
Psalm 138:8 ESV
The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.
Psalm 139:13-16 ESV
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
You have a reason according to God for everyday of your life. He has a designed purpose only you can achieve and he says its' wonderful. He has a deep appreciation for how he made you.

2He feels like he can do more but isn't doing enough
Ecclesiastes 10:10

If you feel like you’re behind, think of what you’ve already accomplished in the past year. Think of how you’ve changed and grown over the past five years.
Stop comparing your life to everyone else’s and set expectations you know that you can achieve, regardless of what other people think.

Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me
John 14:1-2


a. he is feeling lonely - the feeling of not having a woman to hug him and
There is nothing wrong with wanting to find someone, but when you let it affect how you see yourself, your values, and who you are, it has gone too far. So many people--women, men, people of all ages and backgrounds--feel like they are only complete or good enough if they can find someone out there to love them or give them the attention they are looking for. The truth is that we do not need anyone else to complete us because we are unique and amazing people on our own. And sometimes it is easy to see so many happy relationships around you, and people who seemingly get so much romantic attention, and wonder why that can't just be you.

Colossians 2:10, “And ye are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power, in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: buried with Him in baptism, in which also ye are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised Him from the dead.
You do not have to have some other person be interested in you romantically to feel worthy or complete, because you are absolutely amazing just the way you are, with or without that person. You have beautiful ideas, adorable quirks, and amazing qualities, even if you don't have that "special" someone to reaffirm them. If you do have someone a significant other in you life, you do not have to feel like you should change your values or personality to keep them. You can love that other person, but do not let how that other person treats you affect how you see yourself

b. you should desire christ
psalm 73:24-26

Sooner or later, we all ask ourselves the same questions. Who am I? Where am I headed, and who I am headed there with? The latter question has to do with our choice of friends, but also relationships.
