When God spoke those words, his son Jesus who was the beginning of his creation was there with him and the other angels may have been present during the creation process. So God was not speaking to himself. Revelation 3:14
God was also speaking to his Son when he said " Let us make man in our image, after our likeness "
And also when he said "let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech"
Genesis 1:26, Genesis 11:7

When God spoke, the very thing that He said was manifested right then. Meaning if He saidbreath come out from this body, that person will be dead. Why? Because the voice of God has reproductive power in it. When He speaks it happens right then. So when He said let there be light, guess what? There was light. Darkness couldn't comprehend the light. Like our humand minds it can't comprehend God, and we're in darkness until His spirit speaks to us and reveal His light in us.

Yes, it sounds more like a request than a statement doesn't it?
If god was speaking things into existance why wouldn't it say, "There will be Light!" Saying, "Let there be light" sounds like it is asking permission for there to be light. If thats the case, who is it asking permission of? The Universe? The other gods? Satan? Good question, makes ya think.

It is interesting that the forms of the noun for God in Genesis 1 actually point to God having a relationship with himself. The word God is actually plural. It is "elohim" which is a plural form of "el". This doesn not point to the plurality of God, but points to God having a relationship with Himself.
Having said that God saying, "Let there be light" can A. reference Him speaking to Himself. Also B. it can point to the fact that all life comes from God and by His very voice life can come about.

God was not alone when He created the heavens and the earth nor when He created Adam and Eve. God was and is the Trinity, God the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. They were present. That is also why He said "Let Us make man in Our image"

Mrs. God. She's the one with all the power, God wouldn't know where he left the Milky Way if it wasn't for her. He likes to boss her around, telling her "let there be this" and "let there be that" but she doesn't really mind because he can't really do anything to her.

Maybe He was thinking aloud. The bible was not really written by God, it was written by man so maybe the words "Let the be light" was a way of the writer to narrate a part of the story of creation.

He was talking to whatever was blocking the light.
Probably a planet.
The first earth age was destroyed and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
FIRST EARTH AGE
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
FIRST EARTH AGE DESTROYED

The actual hebrew translation was really, "Light be!"
Jesus told us that when God speaks, its done. Every miracle Jesus ever did was spoken out loud. He also said that you have to speak faith in order for it to work.
