DMing a specific user with ID

I went through other questions trying to find the answer to this and came to the following code:

let Prayer = message.member.user.tag;
bot.users.cache.get("my_id").send("My goddess, " + Prayer + " has sent you a prayer!");

However, I get this error:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'send' of undefined

I don't know why it says this since it works for others as well. Can someone help me?

Edit:

New code is now

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const bot = new Discord.Client();
let Prayer = message.member.user.tag;
async function SendingPray() {
      message.reply("Test3");
      const Yuuki = await bot.users.fetch('715912580127785060');
      message.reply("Test4");
      console.log(Yuuki);
      message.reply("Test5");
      Yuuki.send("Testing");
      message.reply("Test6");
};
SendingPray();
message.reply("your pray has been sent. The goddess will read your pray and decide your fate!");

It gets as far as Test3 but after that Test 4 won't appear and Yuuki won't get logged.

Results: Special thanks to @Karizma for solving this with me!

On the end of index.js must say

module.exports = bot;

While the pray.js (using command handler) has the following code:

module.exports = {
    name: 'pray',
    description: 'Pray to the goddess!',
    usage: '[command name]',
    execute(message, args){
        const Discord = require("discord.js");
        const { Client } = require('discord.js');
        const bot = require("path_to_index.js")
        const token = require("path_to_your_token");
        bot.login(token.login_token);
        //token_login is how I stored my token to login the bot
        let Prayer = message.member.user.tag;
            async function SendingPray() {
                const Yuuki = await bot.users.fetch('ID_wanted').catch(err => {
                    console.error(err);
                    //means the user id is invalid
                });
                Yuuki.send("My goddess, " + Prayer + " has sent you a pray!").catch(console.error);
            };
            SendingPray();
        message.reply("your pray has been sent. The goddess will read your pray and decide your fate!");
    }
}

The problem was that the ID couldn't be fetched while the bot hasn't been redefined through the new file by adding code in 7-9, directing back to index.js

Since you are fetching a user you have to call .catch on the method incase it fails

async function SendingPray() {
      message.reply("Test3");
      const Yuuki = await bot.users.fetch('715912580127785060').catch(err => {
          console.error(err);
          //means the user id is invalid
      });
      message.reply("Test4");
      console.log(Yuuki);
      message.reply("Test5");
      Yuuki.send("Testing");
      message.reply("Test6");
};

I have tested out the id on discord and it seems that it is invalid.
