Question
I believe it is "SUCCURRO MIHI DEUS"
Is this correct

Answer
Hello,

Actually the correct Latin phrase is “SUCCURRE MIHI, DEUS” since the imperative, 2nd.person singular,  of the Latin verb SUCCURRO (I help) is just SUCCURRE.

Anyway, you could say also “ Adiuva me, Deus”.

Note that:

-SUCCURRE (imperative, 2nd.person singular, of SUCCURRO) / ADIUVA (imperative, 2nd.person singular, of ADIUVO meaning 'I help') = help

-MIHI (dative of the pronoun, as the verb SUCCURRO takes the dative case) /  ME (accusative as the verb ADIUVO takes the accusative) = me

-DEUS (vocative case) = God
