A Channel of Peace

“Lord, make me a channel of thy peace — that where
there is hatred, I may bring love,,,.”~ St. Fransis, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions
Alcoholic  Anonymous, page 99
How can i channel God's peace?
Channel as a verb: to form, cut, or wear a channel in
to make a groove in , to convey or direct into or through a channel
but "a" channel says noun, not verb.
A noun would bethe deeper part of a river, harbor, or strait
but then again there's a middle ground. a way, course, or direction of thought or action
or  a band of frequencies of sufficient width for a single radio or television communication.
And there's a related word, channeler: a person who conveys thoughts or energy
from a source believed to be outside the person's body or conscious mind;
specifically :  one who speaks for nonphysical beings or spirits.
can I be that kind of channel? A phrophet means a person who speaks for God.
Like  when Isaiah was called. Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
"Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
Lord, make me a channel of thy peace — that where
there is hatred, I may bring love.
