Is the God of patience God the father in this verse?
The two verses, Rom 15:5, 6 answer the question easily:
Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant you harmony with one another in Christ Jesus, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Note that here, Paul makes a clear distinction between "God the Father" and "our Lord Jesus Christ".
Thus, the God who gives endurance, etc, is clearly, God the Father.
