What are some examples of biblical figures overcoming fear?
Isaiah 41:10-13
10 Fear not, for I am with thee: turn not aside, for I am thy God: I have strengthened thee, and have helped thee, and the right hand of my just one hath upheld thee. 11 Behold all that fight against thee shall be confounded and ashamed, they shall be as nothing, and the men shall perish that strive against thee. 12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find the men that resist thee: they shall be as nothing: and as a thing consumed the men that war against thee. 13 For I am the Lord thy God, who take thee by the hand, and say to thee: Fear not, I have helped thee.
Joshua 1:9
9 Behold I command thee, take courage, and be strong. Fear not and be not dismayed: because the Lord thy God is with thee in all things whatsoever thou shalt go to.
2 Timothy 1:7
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of sobriety.

Biblical figures like Moses overcame fear when he trusted in God's plan to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. David overcame fear when he faced Goliath with faith in God's strength. Mary overcame fear when she accepted the Angel Gabriel's message to become the mother of Jesus.
