It is terrible Latin and looks like an output from a translation engine. It is either trying to say "I serve God from my inner self", or "I am keeping God out of my mind".

Another vote for it not making sense. There are two subjects ("deus" and "ego"); "ex" takes the ablative, not the dative (mihi), and while "ex" is not wrong, before a word beginning with a consonant, it's usually shortened to "e."
I have a different take on what the writer may have meant: I keep God away from me. It's still all wrong!

Hard to say what is meant here. 'Servo' is not "I serve' - that's 'servio', with the 'i'. 'Servo does mean 'preserve, guard, watch over', so it may have been intended to be someting about God watching over someone. I agree with the Owl - it's probably from some translation site, and those virtually always produce garbage.

Literally, "to preserve god out of me I"!
